Hello, I'm asking the question in the adult SN area, because I'm wondering if anyone can give insight in to being a child with neurodiversity, or any needs actually, with parents who divorced.
It is such a cliche that couples with children who need extra support end up divorced, but actually, I'm acutely aware that this is a driving force in my staying put.
I'm pretty sure that DH and I have our own degrees of neurodiversity, but I am struggling so hard with being utterly miserable. It has become so much clearer since covid because I have felt pretty lonely for years, but feel even lonelier with him here but not engaging consistently in anything he's not interested in.
I'm really cracking, and have got to a point where I can only imagine it would be easier apart.
I just can't imagine what that looks like, but more importantly, how will it impact my son/s?
Sorry very long, but bottom line, I'm terrified of making things worse for them (setting aside the heartbreak that overwhelms when just writing this down).
