[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my child was diagnosed with autism, my mother, a very respected educator, beloved by many of her students, told me 'well it sure didn't come from us'. No questions or suggestions on therapies, preschools, nothing. I have really cut down on our communication after that. [/quote]
I’m so sorry you experienced this.
I also received similar responses from my mom when my newborn son had some health difficulties and she blamed them on me having PPD. She said my negative ‘feelings’ made him feel unwanted so he got sick. I started to realize that she views all health issues as the end of the world and becomes very judgmental and overbearing. I remember once when I was in 1st grade, I had a UTI and the doctor found blood in my urine. I was in pain and cried but my mom was so mad at ME! Like she thought I did something to cause my UTI? Ditto any other health issue that came up when I was a child. These days, I am very careful about sharing any health information about myself, DH and our kids.[/quote]
