Hello, Today was tough. You see my ex who I have just split from was recently diagnosed with adhd. The home environment was very hard, especially with my son. I've spoken with my case manager from.the NDIS. I self manage my sons funding. My ex & I could have worked it out with the family therapist but he didn't love me anymore. I got extremely down about this. Yes, I see my sons Psychologist too. He was actually the Family Therapist when I went through Family Court. I've tried grief line but I can never get on the forum correctly 🙄 There are not many support groups around. ... View more

Hi Stormy-Ro, Yes, that's exactly it! I never thought I'd be in this position again. It took me 4 years to open back up & I thought he'd stick around. I've actually fell into grief depression. On top of everything else. My sons Psychologist states I'm an absolute miracle at what I've endured but it doesn't feel that way because I'm on my own again. I have an 11 year old daughter too. I am on a carers pension for my son, I have been since my ex husband left in 2016. I don't have support for myself. Every male would like in on me but not with what I come with so I thought I picked well with this relationship but it has ended. ... View more

Hi there, Thanks for replying. Yes I rang Amaze on Saturday & the called me today. I used to me a member when my son was first diagnosed at 3. They have sent me some links. I just explained it's not for my son but more me. After the relationship break up, I have been diagnosed with grief depression. I have supports in place & I self manage his NDIS. There is no room to move with my son. He is very fixed & if he doesn't want to do something NO ONE can get him to shift. It's absolutely draining!! Thank you so much for answering. ... View more

Good evening, I'm sorry to hear of your divorce. I do feel your daughters will understand why you waited until an appropriate age to tell them. I guess it's a personal decision but I do feel that they will love you just the same & you will & are their Dad. ... View more

I've actually just come out of a 3 year relationship! Blended families are extremely difficult! Are you still together? Would you consider moving out & he stay the rental? The daughter is 18, I do believe you can not allow her in your home. How does the Dad feel about this? Why did the 18 yr old blow up at you? ... View more

That is so hard! I'm dealing with my son who has Autism & I've lost a relationship because of it. At least you & your husband have each other for support. I am on my own. Well, I did have a partner but he couldn't cope with my son anymore. So I am on my own. It's really hard. Have you both spoken to her psychologist? What do they suggest? ... View more
