I'm a lone parent, with an autistic child that doesn't go to school long story (ECHP) Not allowed to attend mainstream etc he is 6 now ( finally will be in specialist school September thank God).
Dad has no contact, hasn't seen his son since he was a few months old, where he held us both hostage in a hotel room and proceeded to smash up the place.
career criminal with a plethora of convictions for violence, abusive, paranoid schizophrenic and all round useless human.
I was always a social butterfly but lost contact with friends over time, last time I went out with a friend was around two years ago for around two hours.
I was my fathers golden child and when he passed away from cancer a few years ago, the family dynamics changed, leaving me out in the cold, quite literally.
I pray a lot, talk to myself ( lol) and cry a lot. and generally just get on with it, what else can we do? I try to give my child the best life, and love him dearly, but its a pretty exhausting, lonely existence without a good support network.
