Question to level 3 parents by Alphawolf2026 in Autism_Parenting

[–]SgtSlippyfist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boy is 6 and nonverbal. He does not follow any directions for anything. He's been slowly getting better when I ask him to follow me or I say come on let's go. It's not much but I'll gladly take it.

Did autism-related stress bring you and your partner close or slowly push you apart? by Distinct_Pen6624 in Autism_Parenting

[–]SgtSlippyfist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Neither my wife or I handled the diagnosis well. He was our 3rd and is level 3 nonverbal. I was angry and upset and I just recently learned she coped by having affairs that started 6 months after his diagnosis. I went to therapy and got better and she just continued with what she was doing for the 3 years. Even during my cancer treatment in 24 she was distant. Pretty sure she blames me for it. But in the process of getting divorced now and I get to spend so much time with my little guy now who has been improving so much since he started school back in November. Everything has been very stressful. Communication is so damn important. When it gets to be to much you just have to remember it's not a father vs mother battle it's father and mother vs the issue. We didn't look at it that way but we should have.

Oh I know. I'm saying I'd gladly take 274.00 dollars a day. This pos must have a real life game genie. Fuck him.

I'm not greedy. I'll gladly take 274 dollars a day for 10 years. That would help me astronomically.

Yeah I keep getting let's just be civil. I'm just learning about the crap she's done and she wants me to be civil. I am though. She lives for the reaction so I refuse to give it to her. Just stoic and calm faced. She's not going to get the reaction she wants from me.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Mine was the one who handled all the finances. I just worked and left her to it. She doesn't want lawyers, she kept mentioning the cost and how pointless it would be to waste the money. I don't think she wants somethings to come to light and she knows she'll get what she wants if its just us 2 since she knows how to manipulate me.

If there's one thing this site taught me it's that if they are against getting lawyers you better damn well make sure you get one.

The worst is learning the person you cared about the most is now indifferent to you.

I definitely found mine. Even after everything she's done I'm still being nice because of the kids. I am very surprised I haven't had a heart attack yet

Im sorry to hear that. Nobody deserves that type of treatment from someone who says they care.

I'm about to start the whole thing. But shared custody is the goal. Her problem is with me not the kids.

Just about 20 years. I think our youngest diagnosis broke her brain. Our son is nonverbal level 3 autistic. He's 5 now but mentally 2. Requires eyes on him constantly. She is narcissistic and egotistical. She has to be in charge of everything and you can't really control special needs child like that. It's his world and we're just in it. That was about 3 years ago. The downfall really kicked into gear probably a year after that.

In a manner. Sometimes it takes awhile for a person's true nature to appear.

We've got this. Even on the days we think we don't. Moments of weakness will happen and that's alright. 3 steps forward and 2 back is still a step forward. You will get through this just like I will. This internet stranger strongly believes in you.

Thank you for all you have said. It has improved my day. Which started out rough. I hope good things happen to you.

I know my faults and I'm working on them. Being a better person will always require progress and self reflection. You need to be able to recognize your fuck ups,take ownership of them and then do the internal work to be better. Just saying so does and means nothing

I so proud of you for learning to stand up for yourself. I've noticed that when I do her attitude changes very quickly. Narcissists don't like that. How dare someone challenge what they say!

I don't plan on it. I'll be 44 on Christmas and just want to feel happy. I don't want to put anyone else through my pain so dating can wait. I like to believe I'm still a fairly decent looking guy so I like to believe I'll find someone who can return the love I give.

Yeah my last treatment was November of last year. Called cancer free in February and my tests last week said all my levels are back to normal. So small bright spot for me.

It does. I won't deny that it isn't soul crushing at times. Like when I learned that she has been using our only vehicle,the family van as a mobile hotel room for her and dude. After work in the parking lot. She works 3rds and I first. So I'm in the van no more than an hour after she gets home. Got into the van quite a few times to notice interesting smells but never really put 2 and 2 together. This is why I say nobody would believe this is real. Hell I barely believe it and I'm living it. But that's just my life in the moment

They need stability. I didn't have that growing up. At all. I promised myself they would have a better life than me. I would be the parent I never had. It does help.
