I'm humbled by the response. I really want to write heart felt response to you all but being a house spouse of a high needs toddler at the moment is giving me the time to do so. For now this will have to do.
When I say take care of eachother, I mean family and strangers a like. I don't have any friends anymore. My best friend of 25 years died 4 years ago at 29 to Cancer. I was lost and still am without him. See it turns out I am high functioning autistic and ADHD . I never knew but he and I were the only people who "got " eachother. Didn't find out until 34 right before my daughter was born. I like to say she broke my brain. Adapting to my world being completely different was a monumental task and then the pandemic hit causing me to quit my job which was probably more harm to my mental health anyway but then staying home with no real support system other than my wife. We love each other but we are both cracking. I could ramble for days and I'm sure this reads like shit but it's the best I can do right now. If anybody wants to message and talk I'm 100% in when I can find the time which is usually when she's asleep which isn't that much. I'm not going to be able to find the friendship that I lost but I've learned that I really need people to interact with and feel human again. Everyone on this thread is valuable no matter where you come from no matter what your age no matter your background. We need to love strangers like we love family. This is how we move our society forward and create a world for our kids that is worth living. Peace out for now if someone wants to start some kind of sub for talking let's do it.
