Both my neurodivergent son and his father have ADHD. My son’s father also has autism, anxiety and RSD, possibly early onset Alzheimer’s like his mother, too. My son also has anxiety and some RSD reactions. It is a wild roller coaster of emotions with both of them and it is very stressful/physically exhausting/mental health deteriorating for me, the neurotypical one.
