    I think I've got to choose between my other half or my kids .

    Why do you feel like you need to choose between them @Strawberry1?

    My apologies for my late response @Adrian_Scope , it's things that have been said that's all . I'm sorry I just don't have anyone to talk too. Sorry.

    You have nothing to apologise for @Strawberry1, you can talk to us and share anything you like. 😊

    How old are your kids? Do they not get along with your other half?

    That's a toughy @Strawberry1, has your other half always felt that way?

    It is isn't it @Adrian_Scope , he's not always been happy when they are around but it's getting more noticeable. My son notices alot of things and my daughter does not come around as much as she used too. Thank you once again.

    Hi

    I had one like that too, but I made the wrong choice, life tricked me again, I haven't seen my children for over a year, and my partner is destroying me, it makes me sad to say

    Have you been able to talk to your son and daughter and ask their thoughts on the situation @Strawberry1? I hope things are feeling more positive for you today. 🙂

    I'm so sorry to hear how things are for you @Agulu it's a real toughy isn't it . My heart goes out to you . It's upsetting to think of others feeling the same as I do . Wishing things where better for you and fingers crossed that one day you get a break from your unhappiness. Sending gentle hugs now and always.

    Strawberry, that sounds like a tense situation. I think you know who's being unreasonable and perhaps self-centred or you wouldn't feel so torn. I think you know who to prioritise and it's not him. You can do this with the right support!

    Because my unwell father was so hostile to his grandchildren, I saw my mum less than I wanted. He wasn't very nice to us either and she always said he was jealous of us. Put simply, he did not like sharing her with anyone having mostly grown up as an only child..

    On another point - you must stop calling yourself stupid or any names like it! My daughter began pulling me up when I did this and she was right because this habit reinforces all those negative beliefs. Autistic does not mean stupid, ever, so please stop doing this to yourself!

    Hello 👋 @WhatThe , my sincere apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind. I like peace and quiet and there wasn't much Yesterday so I'm sincerely sorry. I appreciate you support a great deal Thank you . What you have written does make a lot of sense. My heart goes out to you with what you experienced. That must have been tough. I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a awful situation. I won't be able to thank you enough for your support but it really is appreciated. People like yourself who have experienced such circumstances are good at helping others I will be forever grateful. Thank you 😊. Take care of yourself.

    Hello, Strawberry, I don't like sharing my problems on websites, I'm too embarrassed, but if you want to talk privately, I'm here to help.
