It is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Children with ADHD need guidance and understanding from their parents and teachers to reach their full potential and to succeed in school. Having a child with ADHD is one of the reasons that marriages end in divorce. When parents interact with an ADHD child, they are more distressed, argue with one another more, and view one another as less supportive. ADHD has a strong genetic component.

It is a biological malfunction of the brain, inherited - genetic. It is not caused by parents, except by faulty genes being passed on. This is an interesting topic as I feel that domestic violence leading to divorce may be caused by the ADHD. Dear San

Parents to children who have disabilities such as these should be able to stay together for the sake of the child. Thats a poor excuse for a divorce imo.

Children with ADHD need the positive inputs of both parents in order to contend and control violent behaviour as they grow. Contending with divorce could be devastating for these children. It is however common to see divorce and separation in parents of children with mental disabilities as the marriage environment is continuously stressful complicated by the lack of intimacy and constant control of emotions.
