Hi as most of you are aware I lost my mum at the end of the pandemic and my dad very quickly met someone else. He really struggled with the loss of my mum because he really loved her but he is the sort of person who can’t be alone he needs someone. Halloween this year was his first year of moving to Scotland. He took his partner out for a nice meal. I find it hard because my parents were happily married for over 30 years and they loved one another and after my mum my dad’s partner comes along. She is really nice I get on with her and I’m glad my dad is happy but I find it hard not having my mum around and living the independent life. I live in my parents old house which I have inherited with my 13 year old dog. It’s a struggle being on the spectrum and living in a big house alone. I can look after myself I cook and I’m a good cook and I try to keep the place clean and tidy. I can also look after Lucy my dog but I find it lot of effort to keep on top of things. Luckily my dad still pays the bills and Lucy’s vet fees but that only until I am financially stable which hopefully should be soon when I start work.
