How a 'divorce drug' saved my life: For 40 years I ignored all the red flags in my relationships. Then at 61, I was prescribed a medication which made me see clearly for the first time ever

It was in early 2024 that my daughter Angelique, now 37, shared her medical diagnosis, which led to my own life-changing epiphany. I told myself that relationships required work and compromise, and that leaving would mean I had somehow failed. He was charismatic and loving and, after all the disasters, I felt we could build a life together. But with the help of medication, I've learned to look back at my life with more pride. I also received cognitive behavioural therapy through the NHS, which helped me understand how ADHD affects emotional regulation, decision making and relationships.
