Unfortunately I wasn't assessed as being Dyslexic untill I was 55 and it had caused me so much grief, sadness and 29 years of Depression. Not being able to remember things is a nightmare. At least I now know why I am like this. Be kind to your girl, read what has been written here - encourage her and buiold her selft esteem and confidenjce. The girl you first met is still there, you just have to connect with her. Good luch Mo, you can do it. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: question Author: Sue [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:48:35 03/21/09 Sat Hi mo I am 48 and dyslexic. My dyslexia almost cost me my marriage and I must admit that it can still cause some challenges but then again, plenty of things in life do. I can so relate to the messy house. It's not that she want's it that way - it's just that it is harder for her and if she is as bad as I was she probably thinks that it is impossible. After a while you tell yourself that it just doesn't matter but it is because you get so worn out. The truth is that it really does. I really can relate to how hard this is for you. You guys have a big advantage in the fact that at least you know that your girlfriend is dyslexic. My hubby and I did not so I got zero support and it caused a lot of resentment. Anyway bottom line, support, support, support. Not just for your girlfriend but for both of you. I found a heap of support through www.flylady.net. This website will teach you and your wife simple steps to take to simply manage a clean and tidy house and have more time and rescourses to enjoy the family. Definately worth a try. Regards Sue
