Hey, what's up? This is Kristen Carter and you are listening to a bite-size episode of the I Have ADHD podcast. I am medicated, caffeinated, regulated, and ready to roll. This little episode is one of my favorite clips from the podcast. It's perfect if you're not in the mood for a full hour-long listen.

Because let's be real, some of us ADHD just don't have the patience for all of that.

But if you are a die-hard listener, think of this as your mid-week pick me up.

It's Thursday, y'all.

Friday is right around the corner.

If you love this clip, check out the show notes for a link to the full

or I've changed the perspective in some way where I stop.

I think early on you can see your partner and every little thing that they do as an offense

to your existence in your home, right?

So like, you know, everything from the tube of toothpaste to the dishes,

to the car keys, to how you spend time to budgeting and finances and decision-making,

impulse control and all of that that goes into life, I think maybe that all still exists. I just don't see it anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

or chosen to accept it. Yeah, and I... What was the second part of that question?

Sorry, go ahead. No, if I, if I, when I was taking up a lot of space, which I do think there was a time,

how did you navigate the dynamic without resentment building up?
