i'm torn apart

yesterday we went out. It was abetter idea than being trapped at home again with ateenage girl desperate to do. Bad , bad choice. She was rude foul mouthed and aggresive. Or she was distraught and sobbing. My partner is now leaving because I let myself be ditacted too by a child. she hates him and me because I do what he wants. I try to please everyone and I dont who who I am anymore.

I do know I am soon going to be on my own. I am facing losing our house. The future beckons, the kids gone. My son, daughter will be adults as well equipped for the world as I could do.She will survive. she is strong. I dont know if I will. 15 years living with Aspergers has taken its toll.

An alcoholic ex. a 16 yr old son who spends as much time away from us as he can, a partner leaving. Friends that have disappeared along the way.

My future lies ahead. I cant see anything except lonliness, more of the desolute lonliness i live with every day.

    I am so sorry that you are struggling at the moment.  I can totally empathise with how you are feeling.  You need to look after yourself otherwise you will not be able to help all the other people in your life who obviously depend on you.  Although there are times when you don't want to be strong and you want someone to look after you and support you.  I wonder if you have been to your doctor for support for you rather than for your daughter?  Counselling may be a way forward to help you get things off your chest.

    I have provided a link below for

    This includes details of the National Autistic Society Autism Helpline, where advisers can talk through the different types of support and search for services in your area, if you would like to call.
     
    Please continue to post, just letting off steam by typing your feelings and despair can be a great relief and help you. 
    All the best xx
