What will be in store for me?

Post Reply New Topic

I am 23 with aspergers and still living with parents and finding it hard to find work cause of discrimination. Although my parents say to me "you will have a happy life and have a family"

My brother said to me about my current situation "I think your mum and dad are waiting until you are more emotionally developed to tell you there truth about what your future will look like"

Why does my brother stress the fact about being more "emotionally developed" in relation to hearing the facts from my parents?

It's a parent's job to protect, nurture and give hope to their children.

In reality, some people will get married, have kids, buy a house, move to the suburbs, get a retirement plan and go on vacations. You know, The American Dream.

And some won't.

Some will never get married or have kids. Some will go to their graves as virgins. Some will die as homeless drug addicts, some will waste away in prison and some will end their own lives.

Those are all realities.

In a way, I was the one who "failed" out of all my brothers, sister and cousins.

No one told me I was doomed to fail. It just turned out that way. It's not something you can predict, though.

But there is always hope that you'll be one of the winners.

Well i know the feeling.

The feeling of disappointing ones family, by not continuing the family line. For me an only child. So makes it even tougher. I might not be good with emotions and all that crap.

But i know that my mom is disappointed by the fact im not like normaly people, and probably will never get girlfriend let alone kids.

But not even sure i would want to, because there is 2 huge problems, well besides even getting a girlfriend and all that. But one getting kid might end up having it same or worse than me. thats not fair and worth the risk, then its hard enough to take care of my self. I wouldn at all be able to take care of a kid. I mean i could take care of it like a pet. But there is a bit more to it that.

At least i did semi accomplish to move out and live on my own, well expect the damn laundry, trying to learn that for 10 years now. not good.

Just be happy your not an only child. But still it sucks to let down and disappoint ones parents.
