I've just recently discovered my ma had Aspergers and I'm 44. I have lived through every circle of hell concerning my interpersonal relationships (with men, I'm a woman) and have become a doting co-dependent with every baby child under my care... leaving me a wisp of who I really am and who I was supposed to be. I hated my mother for the longest time and became everything she was not, overly attentive, loving, giving all in an attempt to fix my inner child's heart. Understanding that it was a disorder in her and not that I was a bastard child worth hating really frees me up and I can now start battling the thoughts in my head that undermine my self confidence. This is a completely new battle for me and I'm hoping for quick victory, any encouraging words are helpful and thank you to all the people who have commented here..it was my miracle.
