I've spent the last couple of years fighting so hard for my daughter to be adequately schooled through a diagnosis of asd - I know I've fought really hard and things are looking great for her and she's so happy now everything I could ever want - she spent two years at home with me as there wasn't an option but to keep her out of school as she was experiencing such distress... but during this time my first relationship after 6 years since my children's father broke down. My mother pretty much abandoned me at my time of need and all of this on top of being unable to develop and nurture new friendships. I just feel really alone and flat, have felt like this for so long I don't know what to do anymore - I feel I've lost myself
