[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 370827, member: 3907"] Like others have mentioned, I have compartmentalized friendships. I have several acquaintances in the neighbourhood, but my close friends are mainly from work. I work in IT, which is heavily populated with Aspies and other quirky people, so my own oddities and those of my children are accepted, even cherished. Honestly, having difficult child out of the house has made all the difference in my ability to maintain friendships. I've been able to reconnect with some of the friends who knew me "BG" (Before difficult child) and I've made other friends "AG". But during the worst of the difficult child times, between his needs and my severe situational depression, it was all I could do to get up, go to work, manage difficult child's gfgness, and fall into bed every day. I didn't have the time or the inclination for friends. [/QUOTE]
