My 18 year old daughter and I have ADHD inattentive. She was diagnosed in her young teen years and me at 45. We get along for the most part but when we do fight it escalates to a point of no return. I want to punch (but don't) I want to scream my loudest (but don't) I want her to go away to live with her Dad who she would never behave that way with. When it happens it makes me feel despondent and I sob wishing to drink, smoke, escape whatever.... (but don't) She lacks empathy for my concerns and issues when she is behaving irresponsibly. My biggest problem is when she lacks the empathy I need so much. I wish I could avoid these destructive horrible fights especially since she is leaving for college in 3 weeks and would rather us have a fun loving and supportive summer experience which she she and I both deserve. Any advice??
