Learning Disabilities

A little FYI on how trauma is not only stored in the brain but our body. Most of us who are suffering with medical conditions have conditions that stem from the trauma we endured. Headaches, migraines, high blood pressure, seizures, fibromyalgia, reproductive conditions, learning disabilities, arthritis etc #

I am a 51 year old woman that was diagnosed in 2005 with major depression disorder and anxiety. I am raising my 2 grandchildren by myself both children have adhd, separation anxiety and major learning disabilities. I have 4 children my 2 oldest are addicted to drugs my 3rd son died by suicide at 22 which put me in unreal anguish and not being able to function properly in everyday life activities. I live quietly and I keep almost fully to myself at all times, not able to handle the normal ups and downs of even simple everyday life. It’s been almost 5 years since my sons suicide and 7 years since I recieved custody of my 2 grandchildren, everyday life for me is a routine of the same thing done daily to function. No big changes are moves are made, since my sons death a overwhelming fear and pain are a daily reminder of the loss that paralyzed my world. I live mostly in my room and don’t leave the house unless groceries are other necessary things have to be done. Most of my friends didn’t know how to act are deal with my sons Suicide. So in 5 years I have pretty much lived as a hermit daily with my thoughts for company. I’m joining the mighty for information and to understand how I can learn how to live everyday with these things and still be as productive as possible.

Am I in the wrong?
Should I not have said anything?
Can I do anything to keep things like this from happening?
Did I do something wrong? Am I just talking and he thinks it's flirting?
I have other male friends who have atusim but they don't make me feel unsafe or uncomfortable-Is it just because I dated him?

Back in 2011 I started a college program for people with intellectual and physical disabilities. I learned a lot from the program and gained more self-confidence. I graduated in 2015.

In 2012 I dated one of my friends who has atusim and the relationship did not go well, so I broke up with him..
Ever since that day he has dated other females but has said and done things to me that made me uncomfortable and feel unsafe, and I just feel like i couldn't be his friend anymore because he would say sorry but then go back to what he was doing, then would use his atusim as an excuse.

I have cognitive/ learning disabilities, a physical disability, also bipolar type 2 and have never once used them as excuses.

So go forward to last night were I just told him look you a nice guy but time and time again I have told you about your behavior towards me that makes me uncomfortable and feel unsafe, yet I haven't seen a change in you, when you told me that you would not make me uncomfortable and feel unsafe again.
When I take someone at their word and they haven't changed their behavior I have had to walk away.

All i did was explain myself and he blocked me on everything.

I'm just sad.
