Maybe try showing her some ADHD adult websites. To educate is better. When people see it in black and white or on a website they believe it. We could talk till we are blue in our faces. Try and explain its not intentional n tell her maybe if its important to her , to send you a text during the day to gentle remind you or leave a post it note on the fridge. Talking is hard but ask her how it makes her feel? acknowledge her feeling then say how you feel e.g sad upset for letting her down as its not intentional. Its hard being so open and honest but it does work. The most important thing is to let her speak don't interrupt and for her to do the same when its your turn. I hope this helps. GOOD LUCK |
