The few excerpts I have read made me leave the computer, go into the bathroom, lock the door and cry. It’s heartbreaking.

Sometimes I feel bad I’m so overprotective of my son. He’s 20 and has Asperger’s. He’s never been in a relationship and I know it’s frustrating for him, but he’s not a hater as of now. He has a family who loves him a lot, but I monitor his internet stuff when I can when he’s home. Just to see what he’s into. He tries so hard to be friends with people and open his heart to them and no one responds and it’s just SO hard to watch. I know he’s sad and lonely sometimes, at least he has some friends at the school he’s at. But that’s over in October, then what? He’s a good kid, but I would understand if he was really angry.

It’s sad. And truly the thing that keeps me awake a lot of nights.
