Picture this: You’re struggling with ADHD and trying to find the right medication to manage your symptoms. Your in-laws notice some changes in you and decide to stage an intervention. But instead of offering support, they compare your medication to legal meth and suggest reading books about motivation. How would you react? One woman found herself in this exact situation and decided to walk out of the intervention. Now, she’s questioning whether her actions were justified or if she was being rude. Let’s dive into her story.

Was She Right to Walk Out? ♀️
This woman’s in-laws staged an intervention, but instead of offering support, they made a hurtful comment about her ADHD medication. Understandably upset, she walked out of the intervention, leaving her husband to explain the situation. Now, she wonders if her actions were justified or if she should have stayed to avoid conflict. With childcare costs being a significant factor, the couple relies on their in-laws for help. So, was she right to walk out, or should she have stayed and faced the music? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
