    Divorcing - Can't Cope With Changes?

    Okay, here's where I am struggling so bad. If our schedules change drastically and I'm forced to let him have all of our children for an entire weekend, how do I cope? What in the crap do I do with my time? How do I stop crying because I'm not allowed to be there for my children, tuck them into...

    Divorcing - Can't Cope With Changes?

    Yes, in a way, it would be a relief. But on a much bigger scale, I was not ready at all to have to make all these huge life changing decisions and so quickly. And at the holidays. Ugh.

    Divorcing - Can't Cope With Changes?

    While this is true, it's also true that she clearly will influence my ex's decisions in this mess. Unfortunately. :-/ And I'm shocked that they've lasted this long. That's another reason I don't want my kids getting close to her. Chances are good that she will be gone sooner rather than later.

    Divorcing - Can't Cope With Changes?

    I will agree that she is trying to get my ex to be a better father to our babies. Now I am just not sure what all of her reasons are for doing that. I know that her own ex is being a lousy dad to their 2 kids and she sure doesn't want my ex to be anything like that. I also wonder if she thinks...

    Divorcing - Can't Cope With Changes?

    Me and my ex have been together since we were kids, over 20 years ago. Married young, had a lot of children together. In our marriage, he always cheated around and it only got worse as time went on. I reached my breaking point a few years ago and we separated again. Through it all, I've been...

    Are you creative or do you lack imagination?

    I am quite creative. I enjoy many hobbies and have to make time for these creative endeavors or I will start to fail in other areas of my life. I use some of these things as income streams. And my imagination is so vividly clear that it's downright scary at times. As a child, I never slept at...

    Thank you! And yes, we have about 15 chickens right now. They are hilarious! And the eggs are the best.

    New Here. Have been in denial.

    For those that are self-diagnosed, do you tell people? Family, close friends? I think that my family wouldn't believe it and might refuse to ever try to understand me unless I had a formal diagnosis. And I feel weird in thinking and saying that about them. But they've always been incredibly...

    Replaying social interactions of the day, and from further back

    Yes!! I have always done this. And I will act out the whole scene while I'm in the shower or in front of the bathroom mirror, and change the ending to what I'd wish I would have done instead. I've found that this behavior in myself helps me to react better in future situations. It helps me think...

    Looking a lot younger?

    Yes! People always assume I am exactly 12 years younger than my actual age. I liked it at first, even though it surprised me (still does), but now it's started to freak me out. Why do random people always assume I am 24 years old? That is the same number I'm given every fricking time! Even...

    New Here. Have been in denial.

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I've signed up because I'm hoping to connect with others who can help me and maybe whom I can help, too. I first read about Aspergers earlier this year after searching and searching online for answers to problems I've always dealt with. I'll never forget when I...
