Adhd doesn't make it impossible for a person to be responsible and reliable, it sounds like he is using that as a crutch.. my bd has a brain injury after his terrible car accident 3 years ago, he has had 7 brain surgeries. Yes it makes things difficult but even he doesn't go 5 days without at least talking to me... Also if he chooses not to take his medicine then he is just being stubborn because there are medicines out there that help those kind of disorders a tremendous amount.

I think if it will help you find better closure talk to him talking to him wont hurt anything but about the adhd that isnt going to stop him from being a dad my own father has it and helped raises me and I just watched a documentary on a women whom is paralyzed and has a baby...thats how I feel about that..

Communication is always best. You won't really know where u stand as a family until you know what his plans r. I would definitely prepare for you and your baby and that way whether he is in the picture or not you can feel your own security. You can do it either way! I hope things work out.

you probably shouldn't try to depend on him either way, seeing as he doesn't seem very reliable. I'd get myself set up whether he claims to want to be there for you two or not, if i were you.
