Let me Introduce Myself..The death of my father and 8 ppl and managing my autistic son with a non supportive husband and teenager

[Beckaliscious08]

Never knew what real pain, depression, anxiety, and grief was until 2017-2018 when I lost 8 ppl back-to-back including my father. I was STUCK in grief and it was like I couldn’t catch my breath. I Was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in Dec 2017. With the stress of my autistic son and non supportive spouse, my teenage daughter acted like the other parent...Fast forward to 03-09-2020..Hey Everyone..I am now Single and better off but so lonely...I left my husband bc I wanted my daughter to see that it was not right for him to do “nothing” while we raised J (autistic son) and my daughter graduated high school early and moved out of the house!! My son is having the hardest time transitioning without her being at the house and his behavior is severe and he is on antipsychotics and a slew of all kind of medication and has ABA therapy. When he is not beating me up, he tries to do property destruction..and in all of this I was diagnosed with Severe ADHD in 2018 and OCD...now I am going through workplace discrimination and retaliation and bullying they are disregarding my accommodations. Every day is a FIGHT

Dearest Becka, Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of 8 people as well as

your father. How devastating and emotionally trying that must be for you.

And now that you are all alone raising your Autistic son, my heart goes out to you.

I more recently watched a video on autism and it blew my mind in how 2 parents

could barely manage their child. And now you're dealing with discrimination at your

workplace, you are but a warrior my friend. Stay Strong, Stay Positive x

I want to Welcome you to this safe non judgmental site to come to where you can

find some comfort from people who really care.

I'm glad you found us. Let us know in how we may help you. We are only a message

away. xx

hi and welcome to you deeply sorry to hear of your losses god bless your dear dad.my son is autistic and at times it can be challenging but if your ex wasn't supportive in any way then its probably best you went it alone.do you have a autistic support group that could help maybe.we have meetings at school if his learning is suffering and his behaviour in general.

Now bc of Covid and my son having to stay home and me not being successful working from home and lack of consistent support from family, respite care, work (even with Intermittent FMLA, and my ADA accommodations), my Psychiatrist said the toxic stress changed my brain chemicals (they said stress will kill you right?!! THE DEVIL IS A LIAR) now they tagged on Bipolar to the list....broke my heart...all due to stress and non support that tipped me over
