[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 85648, member: 3907"] Terry, I feel for you. been there done that, too many times to count. It really gets under your skin, doesn't it?That sense of entitlement, and the defiance. It's a bad combination. This is by no means a medical theory...just my own observations. I have noticed that with a lot of people who have ADHD, they almost need to pick arguments, or to have confrontations. It's almost as though they're seeking the stimulation...the rush of adrenaline etc. that comes when you're in the heat of an argument. I think that the stimulant medications are a medical way of providing the same chemical reaction in the brain. I've been surrounded by a lot of people with ADHD for many years, and they all seem to do this. I know it doesn't help with your frustration, but just a thought. When my difficult child starts to wind me up this way, I try my best to talk in a whisper and walk away quickly. He doesn't get the stimulation or the confrontation, I don't get the stress.
