[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 585397"] My difficult child 1 can plan a few steps ahead, can see (limited) how others feel, and he can put it together in a family situation. At least he can in therapy. So we do tell him very bluntly what the consequences (emotional and legal) his actions will/do have. husband is like you and just can't let difficult child 1's past behaviors go. It has ruined their relationship. I am much more able to see that today is new and difficult child 1 can restart with a clean slate. Now that difficult child 1 is a teenager, getting to be about my size, and more is expected of him by the outside world (if he can do it or not it is still expected) I'm beginning to see some value to the way husband thinks and handles difficult child 1. I understand how upseting it is when husband hides all day letting all the parenting fall on you. My husband does that too. And even though he has the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis it still hurts and is hard for me. And then when he does come out if his cave in the basement and try to parent he makes it much much worse. If you ever find a solution there are a few of us here that would like the answer.:chochypnosmiley: Mind control would fix all our problems ;) [/QUOTE]
