I am sorry about your bf. To some degree, what Karen has mentioned about parents of autism-spectrum children is true. Raising any child can already be a huge burden even without the complications of a neurological disorder. Such a handicap often does put a tremendous strain on even the best of M's.
But there is never an excuse for adultery. Under any circumstance.
And in talking with so many people in the last three years I have come to realize that things can be much worse. My own sitch has been a veritable cakewalk compared to what some have had to endure, through no real fault of their own. These people by their examples really inspire me and shame me at the same time.
I hope you're managing to surf the mounting waves that seem to be constantly rocking your life. Hang in there -- we care about you and want to see you succeed in your efforts.
