He is suppose to be a "highly functioning adult", according to the "professionals"..yet he doesn't seem to be able to handle or "manage" the basics of life, groceries, or even having a "first aid kit" in his apmt. He's been an "artist", since his "emotional breakdown" when his father died, and yet can't get the art to "work" for him. He is in need of a "financial consultant", and "forgets" to buy groceries when he gets his "allowance"...He'd rather "EAT OUT" to be around people but NOT WITH ANYONE! But it's better than being "alone"...but is supposedly content being by himself. Yet, of course that gets "LONELY", and now he thinks or feels he should be considering a "companion", yet doesn't know if he could be Married since he has only seen "ONE SUCCESSFUL MARRIED COUPLE", his parents. Some of the time he appears to be more BIPOLAR than anything else...besides the OCD and the Anxiety and the Depression. Does this all sound "familiar" to you? He appears to be "stand offish", rude, or insulting, when he feels he has lost control of the situation. He must have control...and can't stand or tolerate any constructive CRITICISM at all...He gets INSULTED! IT"S EXHAUSTING when at in the afternoon he can be "exciting and adventurous" and then by the time we actually get to the "EVENT" he panics and wants to stay in the car! Then when he finally gets out of the car, he has a GREAT TIME...VICTORY! But it's all a challenge and a constant battle....IS THIS APSPERGERS? or is the BIPOLAR? I have noticed the pouting face....the folded arms...and the "retreating away" after activities...to the world of fantasy TV and MOVIES...the big escape! He has friends and family...but IS HE EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE IN A MARRIAGE? HE'S IN AND OUT OF LOVE...It's back and forth...he's ONE DAY AT A TIME...THEN HE'S PLANNING FOR NEXT MONTH OR NEXT YEAR. HELP! WHERE CAN I GO FOR MORE HELP? Without contacting the family, which right now seems like the best plan, since the Holidays are coming up and he has to travel to visit...guess what? He wants ME to go WITH HIM! Is this for the "USE OF A RIDE"? or is this because he thinks he's ready for me to meet the sisters, in case I am "THE ONE"......He at least realizes that I have my own grown children, and family, and friends! He has never been married or a parent...so there's not the real responsibility of those relationships there....just sisters and brothers and nieces and nephews. PLEASE ANSWER and let me know if this is someone who really needs to be UNMARRIED, or I am just NOT THE ONE...... Sincerely, Roberta Dear Dr. Hancock:

]]> Comment on Relationships: Divorce is Much More Than a Legal Process by lindahancock http://lindahancock.wordpress.com/2009/03/22/relationships-divorce-is-much-more-than-a-legal-process/#comment-217 lindahancock Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:02:36 +0000 http://lindahancock.wordpress.com/?p=711#comment-217 I totally agree with you! It is interesting but the ones who are most determined to have things in detailed writing are often the ones who are least willing to follow the plan as it is written. Kind of sad. There is a new book that I am planning to order entitled "Tug of War". Heard the CBC interview with the author the other day. First time a judge has written a book FOR parents. Thanks for your comment. Keep smiling. I totally agree with you!
