Dependency

....

Hi,

I have never really done forums or online social things before so I hope I am using this correctly!

I just wondered if anyone else depends on someone, like a parent or partner, to help with 'adulting'. I rely on my parents for most things such as sorting and attending medical appointments (I struggle with speech when I'm anxious and I never understand what is going on), helping me understand and remind me about bills and rent, taking me to places and situations that I find difficult, taking me back to the family home during meltdowns, ect. They basically do everything for me as they are truly awesome!! 

I wondered if anyone else needed this support? I know my mum worries about the future and how I will cope if they aren't there (which I cannot bear to think about). Does anyone have any advice or thoughts? 

Thank you!

  • I rely on my parents for some things, mostly financial (both in terms of I don't earn enough money and in terms of needing advice on things like tax). I still live with them (I'm thirty-nine) and it does help that I don't have to do all the cooking and housework.

    I'm in the middle of getting married (awkward way of putting it because it's a long process due to immigration issues) and my wife has a lot of autistic symptoms too. We worry a bit about how we'll cope.
