[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry OP. It sounds like a really hard situation you’re in. I hope things are better next week for you.

We are in our own thanksgiving hell; our SN child was in the hospital yesterday and our local family all went out of town together for a fun trip to which we weren’t invited and only given text message lip service to the fact that our child is in crisis. Literally nobody cares.

So we’re hurting in a different way but I empathize with you OP. Hugs to you. [/quote]

Op here. I hope your child is doing better. I totally relate to feeling like family just doesn’t really care. Even our few family members who are well meaning just understand and are constantly saying things.

Like even today, some family stopped by to see us briefly. DS was so excited to see them and so overstimulated and was just getting up in their faces and touching them and asking constant nonsense questions like “what time do I get out of school on Wednesdays?”

And then our relative was asking “why is he like this?” And [b]“have you tried [/b]medicines to help him?”

Like she doesn’t intend any harm but I just don’t have the energy to explain all of this to her.[/quote]

“Have you tried” is my personal kryptonite. Honey, I’d you can think of ac solution five minutes in, trust me to be smart enough to have tried it years ago. I sometimes s fantasize about ghosting my mother, who likes to explain parenting to me. She doesn’t understand SN parenting. Like, she’ll try to talk to him while he’s in time-out, which is a huge no-no. It worked for her kids because her kids were typically developing. My kid needs perfect parenting at all times. I’m so sorry, OP. I feel stressed on your behalf.[/quote]
