AlbakiReads Editorial

A family memoir about ADHD, learned limits, and resilience

Drawing on a 45-year marriage and their experience raising sons, Audrey and Larry Jones recount the disruptions ADHD brought to their household alongside the patterns they say worsened the strain, including codependency and unhealthy enabling. The memoir frames its family history as an account of trial, error, counseling, and research, with attention to the consequences of choices that did not help. It also presents ADHD not only as a source of disorder but as a context in which families can seek steadier behavior, practical understanding, and recognition of individual strengths.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and caregivers navigating ADHD within family life
  • Families seeking a personal account alongside practical reflections on enabling and boundaries
  • Adult readers interested in memoirs about long-term family resilience

Book overview

These stories offer the real-deal reality of living with a house full of ADHD, including the ups, downs and chaos of what happened and the consequences of such. The authors, a married couple of 45 years, offer experience, practical insight and what they learned from counselors, research and their own mistakes to assist people coping with children and adults who are affected by ADHD.

Sharing their personal life challenges with the effects of ADHD, this is a real, sometimes painful, story written to help families recognize and navigate to controlling chaos and unlocking the gifts of ADHD in their children and themselves.

"We were struggling to make it and created codependency and unhealthy enabling habits. What we did, and what we didn't do, to help our sons didn't work, many times. The behaviors simply continued and morphed. If we had it to do all over again, we would have done things better and differently.We feel that other parents, by walking with us through our journey, will gain strength and courage to move from frustration to stabilizing behaviors and living resiliently."

Audrey and Larry Jones, authors, Falling Through the Ceiling
