[quote=Anonymous]This is my 9 year old son to a T. Never once has he said "I love you" to me, never once has he initiated a hug, if I attempt he will run away and ask me not to do that. He is a kind, sweet child who has lots of friends and wants to spend time with me so I am not worried about his relationship building skills, but it is HARD as a parent not to get that affection from your child! I just love him for who he is and try to give/receive love in his "love language" (time together playing games) He's been in therapy for unrelated things for years, had a full neuropsych done, no one has ever found anything wrong with his emotional IQ. DS just says physical touch and emotions make him uncomfortable. My spouse said he was the same as a kid (still doesn't say "i love you" to his parents), but he's never had an issue saying it to me so I think it will be find for DS's future relationships too.[/quote]
