[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elementary.  I could always tell they lacked the emotional depth/maturity to be parents.  Especially noticing how my mother would “act” motherly around other kids but when it was just us I was totally emotionally abandoned.

Healing is possible but it’s hard.  You have to grieve that you never got the parents you needed and deserved.  Being a good parent now is my greatest healing tool.  [/quote]

My aspergers father was a totally different person outside the house (attempting to talk to people, smiling, putting on a show), than inside the house or car or vacation with us (sleeping, reading computer, never talking, going to bed early).  It was like split personalities.

Sure he said he cared about and loved us. He just never demonstrated it or showed it. Mom knew this all, and did her best plus got us out if the house a lot and doing stuff with friends or family. Dad stayed home or tagged along, again, acting like a totally different persona with non-family.[/quote]
