You are not selfish. Far from it. My marriage was controlled by my mother in law right from the start. I too am angry.

Undiagnosed but still lives at home as a recluse. As you say, a wasted life. My autism has definitely held me back soc...

Just saying hello Chris.
How are you doing ? Xx

Hello Chris I think you have given Debs some good advise there. In England you have to be in secondary mental health care to see a psychiatrist regularly.
