[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 466321, member: 2315"] My easy child/difficult child is aspergers's (he is not the one I post about here) He lives on his own now and he would never think to call me on a regular basis. He often doesnt' answer his phone but he does respond to texts. I used to be very hurt that he didn't come to family functions, didn't acknowledge birthdays or holidays etc. It took time but I realized he is in a different mindset. He doesn't do that to hurt me he just doesn't see the point even though it has been explained to him over and over again. I deal with it by texting him when I need to get in touch. He will answer texts and he will act on them. I do not overuse it for fear of desensetizing him to them. My point is that often the actions of people with mental health issues do not make sence if we look at it from a normal perspective. When I could look at my son's actions from his "normal" I stopped being hurt. Hope that makes sense and helps a little. -RM [/QUOTE]
