No, ADHD motherhood is not supposed to be this hard.

You're not broken.

You're not failing.

You're tangled in patterns you don't even see.

How do I know?

Because I was the same.

I was spiraling deeper and deeper into emotional confusion until I finally understood something:

I was stuck in behaviors I learned by watching my own parents.

They passed their emotional ghosts on to me.

And it made motherhood feel like hell.

My ADHD made it worse.

Every emotion hit harder, every pattern ran deeper.

I wrote Raised by Emotional Ghosts so you don't have to stay stuck like I was.

I put everything I learned into this book.

The patterns, the traps, the way out.

Things People Have Said About My Work So Far...

A way to finally become the role model you never had

Three transformations emerge after reading this book...

1. You will see what's really making motherhood feel impossible.

Motherhood is hard. But it shouldn't feel impossible.

What you're experiencing is something I call the ADHD Mother Misery Potion: when emotional ghost patterns get amplified by your ADHD symptoms.

In Raised by Emotional Ghosts you'll discover what it is, where it comes from, and how to break free from it for good.

2. You will learn to spot dangerous GOST patterns

GOST stands for:

Get Scared

Oblivious to brain traps

Silence needs

Trade boundaries for peace

These are the four ways emotional ghosts taught you to disappear when things get hard. You'll recognize your parents in them. And (this is the uncomfortable part) you'll recognize yourself.

That recognition is where the change starts.

3. You will get the GOST antidote: the Bravefire

Your Bravefire is the part of you that refuses to disappear. The feeling in your guts that says "there has to be another way."

The FIRE code is how you feed it:
Face all emotions.
Identify brain traps.
Respect your needs.
Establish boundaries.

It's the antidote to every GOST pattern.

That's your Bravefire talking. The part of you that refuses to disappear.

The part that knows there has to be another way.

If you're not happy, I'm not happy!

I've already read parenting books. How is this different?

Most parenting books tell you what to do with your child. This one asks what happened to you.

Because here's the thing... you can learn all the gentle parenting techniques in the world. But if you don't see the patterns you inherited, you'll keep falling into them the moment you're tired and overwhelmed. (So, let's be honest... every day!) This book isn't just about becoming a "better" mother. It's about understanding why you feel so tangled, so exhausted, so alone in this. And... finally feeling lighter.

I don't have a formal diagnosis. Is this book for me?

So many of us don't. A lot of mothers discover ADHD through their child's diagnosis. They sit in that appointment, hear the symptoms being listed, and think "wait... that's me too." If that's you, this book was written for you.
And even if you're not sure yet, if you've always felt like your emotions were "too much," if motherhood is harder than everyone told you it would be, if you catch yourself repeating things your parents did... you don't need a piece of paper to start understanding what's going on.

Will this make me resent my parents?

This book isn't about blame. Your parents were carrying their own ghosts. Most of them were doing the best they could with what they had. But understanding what happened is different from blaming someone for it. You can love your parents and still decide to do things differently.

And if you do feel some resentment along the way... that's okay too. Your parents had their own struggles, but they also had a responsibility toward you, and both things can be true. This book will help you untangle those feelings so you can stop carrying them into your own motherhood.

Will this make me feel bad about myself?

I'm not going to lie... some parts will feel a bit uncomfortable. You'll recognize things you do that you wish you didn't. I know because I recognized them in myself while writing every single page.

But this book isn't here to add more shame to your pile. You already have plenty of that! It's here to help you understand where those patterns come from, so you can finally stop blaming yourself for them. I wrote this as someone going through the same thing, not as someone looking down from the other side. We're in this together.

I never finish books. Will this one collect dust on my phone?

I designed this book for ADHD brains like ours.

There are no long theoretical chapters. No academic jargon. No paragraphs you have to read three times to understand.

Instead, you'll follow Megan and Hannah, two ADHD mothers whose stories feel like reading about your own life. Every concept is illustrated (241 drawings... yes, my hand was sore!). Every page has something to look at. And the chapters are short enough to read during naptime or while hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of peace. I guarantee it will feel as easy as scrolling through Instagram!

About The Author

Meet the woman on a mission to free people with ADHD from shame.

Alice Gendron

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 29 and created The Mini ADHD Coach to make sense of my diagnosis. Hundreds of thousands of people ended up following along because they saw themselves in my drawings.

But after I became a mother, everything I thought I'd figured out about myself fell apart. I realized that the emotional patterns making motherhood so hard weren't just about my ADHD. They were also inherited. Passed down from parents who loved me but couldn't stay present when emotions got big.

So I started writing. And drawing. 241 illustrations later, this book exists.

I'm not writing from the other side. I'm not a therapist or a researcher. I'm an ADHD mother in the thick of it, just like you. I wrote this book because I refuse to be a ghost about it.

I live in Brittany, France with my partner and our three year old daughter.
