You may in desperation be trying to hold on to something that is just not there. You cannot save someone who does not ultimately want to be saved. Being a saviour or rescuer in a relationship simply does not work/

Have you ever contacted the NAS - the National Austisic Society?. They are very good and can give support with regards to your son.

redbull · 07/06/2006 12:03

yes im in contact with NAS and also my family are a great support with ds they adore him beyond words and do anything for him.
i just feel its me that allways keeping our head above the water with our relationship and money,dp isnt an alcoholic but does like his drink i truely beleave if it wasnt for me he would of been one by nowSad

you can't be his saviour.

thats bad for a few reasons. he wont help himself - cos your doing it.
he will resent you for doing it
your potentially putting yourself in a role of superiority - which unbalances the relationship

and more

he needs tyo go and get help.
and if his family means anything ANYTHING at all to him. he will go and get professional help.

you need to step away. at the moment he is raging against the machine ( you) but you feel you have to be the machine to keep things going.

its not going to work like this.

bluejelly · 07/06/2006 12:19

Hey RB keep jabbering! Sounds like it's helping you sort out your feelings...
Great taht your family are able to support you and ds sounds like they will be with you no matter what your mum said she was probably just saying it to shock you into some kind of action.

I think you should seriously consider an ultimatum-- either he gets counselling to address his behaviour, or you will go for a trial separation...

Does that sound like something you would consider?

redbull · 07/06/2006 12:20

he blames me for the way his family is and he also blames me for not having any friends, wich neither is true his family are completely fucked up im convinced his mom sleeps with his uncle and thats just the start of it, his so called friends were DODGY, they did drugs some did/do illegal stuff, only rang him when he got paid one of them cracked on to me tried to kiss me 8 years ago when i told dp and he confronted hid friend he said he was joking and dp believied him.

these are not the sort of people i want in our lives Sad

His mum sleeps with his uncle Shock
You mean her brother, or her brother in law?

redbull · 07/06/2006 12:28

yes that does to be honest ive come to the end of the road now and its either 1 last go and give it all or call it quits, the other thing im worried about is money dp gets paid just under £300 a week and he has said if do split he will give me £200 a week wich i would be gratefull for but that is way to much how could a beer drinking, 20 fags a day bloke survive on that? but im scared that the £200 a week wouldnt be enough rent (housing assosiation)is £75 a week then their is the electric (on a meter)£ 20 a week food and toiletries £60 a week i smoke and enjoy 2 drinks a night its my reward for getting through the day with ds, ds dont understand the concept of money and will wants a comic/toy every time we are out (got issues with new things) there is no way i coluld survive Sad

bluejelly · 07/06/2006 12:35

I know it seems scary but am sure there are lots of people on mumsnet who survive on £200 a week. There are some good money saving threads on mumsnet ( do a search) and to be honest from where I'm standing, being broke is better than being miserable...
Could your mum help out a bit financially for a while?
Have you thought about going back to work?

redbull · 07/06/2006 12:35

her brother im SURE of it , lets put it like this the brother has lived at home all his life is now 52 never had a serious relationship, dp mom moved back home when dp was 2 she is now nearly 50 since she moved back home all them years ago she to has never had a relationship, the first time i met them she was cuddling up to him on the sette when dp said this is my uncle i nearly died thought he was her fellaShock!!!
over the years they have become identical in what they wear, i refuse to see them now but before dp mom confinded in me she was scared her brother would leave and find a woman, they are now moving down to cornwall(yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss)!!!!!!

Small wonder therefore your partner has mental health issues if this is what he has been exposed to all his life. However, he is the master of his own destiny now and unless he seeks professional help you cannot help him.

Any financial settlement that he makes to you should be done on a formal/legal basis. Informal agreements can be too easily broken.

redbull · 07/06/2006 12:55
