Hi, I'm also new here, only found this on a show on abc, and I'm so happy I have found a community that I can lean on for my and my family, I am a mother of 3 children, 2 are on the spectrum and my partner I have been married to for 22 years this month, and October is our first wedding anniversary that we actually spent together in years as my husband has just been diagnosed as bi polar in September after I asked for help from our sons best friends mother and my husbands parents. We have been separated now since mid June, when he walked out of the family home with our 9 year old autistic son to his best friends house to say goodnight to his friend as that's what they always do every night as part of their routine, as I was a full time hospitality duty manager, and never returned home until after I was brought home from an out of hours court session in the next town over from where I live. My husband then packed up our 2 remaining children and our sons best friends family, mother and 3 special needs children to his parents house for at least 4 days, before our middle child came home to look after me as I have been battling anxiety, depression, since I was told I had endometriosis 32 years ago, with regular laparoscopies to be able to have my 3 miracles. My husband is now back home supporting me and our children but still have our sons best friends mother now taunting me and our family as she has the audacity to tell his whole family that we both invited her into our family and marital bed even her own children, and still blaming my husband for NOT supporting her and her kids when she helped get him locked up in hospital for 6 weeks for treatment for his odd behaviour that he had started verbally abusing me and our children. still trying to get back to normal life, learning who I can trust for any support from now on but getting there xxx
