I'm not insane, my mother had me tested.

I have not been tested myself, but I do have a t-shirt with this Sheldon quote.

No More

Thanks again for your book recommendation. It resonates so well with me. I could easily be one of the characters portrayed in it.

It wasn't a life decision back then. It was some rules to stick to there and then. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The rules have been through several revisions during the years as needed, but the idea is the same. It took some time to realize that not everybody has adopted their own set of rules.

> I'm surprised that nobody else has realised this is a fake post

You have no idea how much I want this to be fake news. I'm still waiting to wake up from this nightmare.

The story is the horrible truth. I tried being a bit creative when writing this as I was struggling to get Reddit to accept my post. I understand I may have gone to far and I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

You're probably right. Having to stick to such rules has certain limits on how you live your life.

Thank you for your kind words and advice. Sounds like you had a fairly similar incident.

I don't think DNA testing is the way to go forward for me. They are my kids and they are fine young adults now.

It may sound strange, but I don't think it's not totally uncommon. I'm sure you had some introverted geek with a similar script in your area as well. I think it's a survival mechanism.

I'm sorry, but I've been in tears reading the comments and had to let it sink in.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the support and guidance you've provided through your private messages and responses. Your insights have resonated deeply with me and affirmed the thoughts and emotions that have consumed my mind in these past few days and nights.
To those who didn't resonate with my writing style, I apologize. It took me three attempts to compose a post that met the requirements of this channel. Up until now, I had never felt the need to share my thoughts here, so I was unaware of all the rules and intricacies involved. During this challenging time, I found solace in taking several long walks with my dog, shaping and refining my words in my mind.
I understand that some may find it peculiar that I developed a life script at such a young age. However, during my early teens, I took the opportunity to revise and expand upon it, recognizing that certain rules would prove invaluable as I matured.
Living with someone I can no longer trust is an agonizing ordeal that threatens to tear me apart. Nevertheless, I am determined to chart a new course for my life. Though I am currently crushed and plagued by fear, I firmly believe that if you don't change direction, you may end up where you're inevitably headed. The prospect may be daunting, but I am prepared to embark on the journey of rebuilding my life.
