Article

Memo's and mine relationship is amazing, but we have one big obstacle adult ADHD and all that it entails. 
We can handle most of it, probably because Memo tries hard to over come it, but there are two aspects we have big problems with; lying and anger - both are very common and big problems with adults with ADHD.

The reason I bring these very personal problems up is because I recently found an article on how to deal with your partners anger (ADHD), and I know we are not the only couple out there.

It is a good reminder that it isnt their fault - in a way. I also liked it because it was like reading our story - it gives a good pictuer of reality.
I do not think this is a long term solution,  it doesn't solve how hurt you feel, nor how they believe (and try to convince you) they didnt raise their voice,  insult you or got aggressive.

After the research I have made the only real solution is medication, but therapy can also work.

Again,  memo is amazing and tries hard to over come his condition - as do others I am close to with the same problems.

I just know how difficult it is to deal with, if not the anger the denial afterwards.

Lately

Since I havent had the best few weeks I havent had much reasons to update, and the past two days I have been struggling with a bipolar internet.
I am sure it is about to change - connection problems and my mood.

Here are a few pictures; the garden, my Orchid and the princess.

Words

Sophias vocavulary is small but precise

Bapap : ball
Titta : look
Mamma
Mmmm: cow or food
Ah-ah: dog and pig
Aoum: cat
Papa
Pap: pacifier
Baahh: sheep
Ba: bye
ampa : lamp
Da : there

She understands more in swedish than in spanish.
If I ask her where the lamp, ball, pacifier,  dad or flower (among other things) is she points at the thing.

She loves music and starts dancing if its catchy enough.

A fun little girl with a very strong will and quite the temper.

15 months old now in april.

Well deserved

We came back from a week in Vallarta yesterday afternoon.

The week was great, Sophia was so happy in the pool! Last day she got a runny nose, so we kept her away from there.

Coming back we got the exit permit foe Sophia and this morning we went to Palacio Federal to get my exit and entry permit!
The only thing missing now is her passport.

I am tired and got so much cleaning and packing to do before we leave on Thursday morning.
