I feel like I am going "nuts". My husband left in September and is acting weird. They say he has PTSD and OCD, but I really believe that he has Asperger's syndrome too. My in-laws do not understand about Asperger's and still maintain that a good "whipping" will get him into shape and act like I am not a good mama sometimes. I am working two jobs, because of going through the divorce and I am give out all the time. My husband is in la-la land and I do not know if he will ever be back to himself.

My little boy on a brighter note is doing well, other than from the divorce and the in-laws and such, but he was just approved for the "gifted" program at school and he also got a scholarship to a camp for Asperger's this Summer, so maybe they can explain some new techniques and things like you mentioned to me. He takes Adderall, but not a mood stabilizer yet. I am so afraid of those, but he may need to eventually have one and they have mentioned Risperdal.

I feel like my life is a nightmare. I never planned on being a single mama and I feel so upset all the time and just angry that all this has been dumped in my plate and I am just supposed to "deal with it" and "get over it". That is what I am constantly told, but I love my husband and we have been married almost 18 years now and I can't just "get over it" and especially with this new diagnosis for my son and all the other stuff going on.

If you guys have any ideas for me, let me know and remember us in your prayers please.
