Hello,

My name is from Houston, Texas. I have a 14-year-old son who

has Autism, and I'm divorced.

I was in a physically abusive marriage for 17 years, why did I stay

in there for so long you ask? Because I wanted my children to have a

father figure around the house. My kids along with myself were

scared of my then husband. I didn't want to live the rest of my

life, hiding children from getting hurt, or one day witnessing their

mother being killed. With those possibilities in mind, I decided to

leave with my children.

I have been divorce for some time now, 7 years to be exact, and now

I'm (still being young) would like to find someone who would accept

my son . Everywhere I turn, people are telling me, that no

guy would be interested in becoming a stepfather to an Autistic

child. I guess the reason that I joined your group is to find others

who are experiencing the same thing. I'm seriously thinking about

returning to my very abusive husband; I don't want to spend my life

alone. And he's the only one who is interested. Anyway, I'm glad to

be here.
