Well things are very very rough for me right now. I went to a meeting with DH's counsellor last night, and my worst fears were confirmed. My husband not only has an addiction, (which the counsellor was convinced we could fix) but in addition he has a Pervasive Developmental Delay called Aspergers Syndrome ( some describe this as a touch of autism and it's on the autistic spectrum) which basically means my husband never developed empathy and emotional expression, nor will he ever be able to understand how it is to experience emotions like a normal person. This is not "fixable" with therapy nor is is possible to be medicated to fix this. He will never truly understand what I really mean when I say it hurt me, or be able to meet my emotional needs in the relationship like any normal person. He can be taught what to do and say, but it will be a "script" not a real understanding of my feelingstgtvgbtvjkol;knb ,n,,b I just want to run away and cry for a million years, but I can't even leave for a weekend I thank God I have all of you to be here to listen or I think I would have gone insane by now.
