Coping with blended families

MummyDidIt

Hi all. I'm an autistic adult, dx 2 years ago, in the process of getting a divorce. I am starting a relationship with another divorcee but am really struggling with the concept of the blended family, especially as I have been estranged from my family since my dx. Any pointers would be helpful, thank you

  • What sort of things are you struggling with?

    Other peoples xmasses are always a bit odd, they rarely have the same traditions as "we" do and it can all get a bit fraught when traditions collide, I got told off for serving bread sauce, my family always have it, but my ex's family never did, then there's when you open presents, when you have dinner, do you watch telly and all sorts?
