I know that most of these messages are for parents of babies and school age children. But I want your advice with regards to my son who has aspergers is in his early 20s… it’s a long one so please be patient.

I split from his dad when he was 6 years old, and throughout his childhood we shared contact 50:50. I have since remarried and had two more children. When he left fulltime education I decided to move house nearer to the city for better job prospects. He decided to stay and live with his dad and grandparents in his home town.

His dad has recently (moved 30 miles away) in with his new girlfriend and my son was left alone with his grandparents. He had a good job and life for him was great.

6 months ago his grandma had a series of strokes and this has left her with paralysis down one side, speech difficulties and early signs of dementia. My son and his grandad took it in turns to care for her as she is totally house-bound. (Steps up to the house prevents her from leaving).

Sadly and totally unexpectedly his grandad died of a heart attack leaving him all alone as carer. He has quit his job and he is struggling financially and emotionally.

I attended the funeral and discussed his dad helping with grandma’s care but his new girlfriend rolled her eyes. It was mentioned that she should go into a nursing home, but that would mean selling the family home to pay for it, this will make my son “homeless”. His dad’s girlfriend doesn’t want our son in their “love nest” and although he will always be welcome to stay at ours we do not have the room. But we are willing to look for a bigger home but I am not sure how long it will take us.

Any advice would be welcome, I’m going out of my mind with worry.
