Struggling with Legalities as a vulnerable Autistic adult

[Hereforhelp]

Hi all

I am over a year out of my abusive long term marriage… I am at legal stage so will not talk about that for obvious reasons on here (identifying info)

What I am struggling with is UNDERSTANDING the legal system I have been thrown into, expected to agree ‘prove myself’ ‘do X, Y or Z to ‘make my case stronger’… I am medically diagnosed as a vulnerable, autistic adult, I am educated and I understand some but I now feel like I am being led down a path which is making me anxious (mediation, I was told to do it and habe since learned that it is NOT a good idea to try and mediate with an abuser)..

But I am stuck, I can’t get through to Rights for Women as the hours are cut in my area, I am a full time carer for a close member of family day/night.

How is it fair to have help at the start (for which I am still grateful), to now be left on ny own trying to understand what to me is another language which brings on anxiety as I do not understand it.

Thank you if you read ❤️ HFH

Hi Hereforhelp

I am so sorry, its so frightening to be left in the midst of a legal mire without any support, especially with the added challenges of vulnerability and autism. I feel for you in your predicament.

I am not sure if I can recommend anything to you, although I have some ideas.

Maybe its best I send you a pm…yeah, I’ll send you one now

warmest wishes
