When your parents die, then you be truly alone in the world?

Post Reply New Topic

My parents are not very emotionally connected to me or supportive (I believe both have Asperger's). While I love them and now accept the way they are (seeing as I know what it's like and see it in myself), I don't think I'd be alone when they died. I'm married and my husband is my family. I have a sister I'm close to and a handful of friends that would be there for me. I think because my parents aren't NT they pushed me out of the home and into independence a lot quicker than others might have, mostly because of social, interaction and caring difficulties Aspie parents may face with child rearing, but also because they didn't want me to be vulnerable like they were so pushed me harder. So I'm very independent and have enough connections to be happy after they die.
