While eating dinner, I told them both that I need help with that kind of thing, that it's easy for me to lose track of time or forget about things, so if they ask me to do something and I don't do it, I need a reminder not a guilt trip. I was basically told by my stepdad that I was only going to get one reminder period, and that was right now. Yeah, because that's helpful.
I really don't know how to handle people like that, who refuse to see the world through anything but their own eyes.
Yeah, it's very frustrating. I'm going to try talking to them about it tonight, and explain what I need a little more thoroughly.
Also, in reading one of the books about ADHD, one of the "treatment" suggestions was to have a life coach basically. Someone you check in with on a daily basis and discuss the things you accomplished that day, and and schedules of things you need to get done, etc. It could be a therapist, a friend or a colleague. Even a family member, although that can be risky (author didn't say why, but I can imagine). I have no idea who I would even ask about that. I don't really think either of my parents would be helpful in that capacity, and any of my friends I think about I just feel like I don't want to be a bother to them like that. >.<
