Feelings of resentment are not uncommon in close relationships.

Spend enough time in years together, and many couples are bound to grapple with lingering anger and

disappointment. Of course, there are many reasons for this. Resentment might stem from an unresolved

conflict, anger issues, an unequal partnership or unequal division of labor, trust issues, or something

else. In relationships touched by ADHD,

traits like forgetfulness, poor organization, and weak follow-through can hasten these feelings

and chip away at intimacy. Melissa will explain how to address these feelings and communicate

effectively without triggering your partner. She'll tell us how to let these feelings and communicate effectively without triggering your partner.

She'll tell us how to let go of resentment and start healing. You might want to have a paper and

pen handy because she'll also guide you in a thought-provoking exercise. So without further ado,

I'm so delighted to welcome Melissa Orlov.

Thank you so much for joining us today, Melissa.

Thank you, Carol.
