Hi Bushy,
It is good that you have reached out. It does sound like you are living very rurally. I can relate to this as I spent many years living in far North Queensland and the Northern Territory so I have some idea of some of the challenges that this type of living can entail.
You certainly sound like you are struggling a little with isolation and as a parent myself I can only imagine the impact of having your daughter start school after many years at home looking after her - my daughter is still not school age. Hopefully you feel welcome and can find some refuge in these forums - everyone is very friendly and approachable.
Good luck with keeping going despite the difficulties.
JRG.

Hi Bushy and a very warm welcome to you.
I realise it's been quite awhile since you wrote. I hope you are still out there - ready to respond.
I come from a Dutch background. Dad was born in Indonesia. Life can be very difficult in Australia - especially in the outback.
Let me know if you're still around and want to talk.
It's okay that you have Aspergers - so many of us do. Some more than others.
Life is okay though. People can be okay. So, we can talk if you want.
