i'm torn apart

smurfette

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 completely understand how Aspergers can leave a whole family desperate.

    My sister has Aspergers (though I suspect that this is not her only mental problem) and has had mental breakdowns and at times her behaviour has really damaged the whole family. She has been aggressive, suicidal and abusive, as well as violent towards us and the house. We couldn't take her out of the house and we couldn't leave her alone. We had little support at times and it was very difficult. It does get better, and it is better now but I still wonder whether her behaviour will return to how it was. There is always a chance that it will, i guess.

    I am glad that your daughters behavious has improved and that you have some support now. My own experience of having a difficult teenage girl with Aspergers in the family is that it can either tear you apart or bring you together, but ultimately you need support.
