[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have realized that for me, sometimes these feelings are because I am finally being seen and heard and someone is taking a focused interest in the hardest part of my life.[/quote]

I was going to say this too. It’s sometimes better and sometimes worse but I have struggled to feel like my spouse and I are parents in dealing with our kids SN (other aspects of our marriage are better) and I so desperately want someone one this journey with me. When someone fills that partner feeling I’m looking for, it is such a powerful feeling.

Plus competency and good with kids is an incredibly attractive combination. It’s ok OP. Don’t do anything dumb but it’s fine.[/quote]

Op here. Yes I think it’s this. DH and I don’t connect well on this topic (or in general really since our child with SN was born).

There’s also something about this doc. He’s in his 60s so he’s old school and a white male. But he’s still collaborative and deferential to me. Like he listens to me. And I don’t always get that from other doctors and especially not white male doctors over the age of 60. I don’t mean to stereotype but sometimes the more old school docs I find don’t like to be questioned. This doc isn’t like that. Like he’s not super warm and “nice” but he doesn’t get triggered just because I have questions or concerns. He seems like he enjoys me. I think there is also something about the quiet authority like another PP said. And also I mean, I do respect my GP or my kids pediatrician, but I don’t admire them in the same way. This doc is sort of a big deal. Like he’s brilliant and one of just a handful of docs with these credentials. Even after 5 years it still leaves me a little star struck I guess.[/quote]
