[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 538143, member: 1514"] Well we have always felt that Billy has been on the aspie spectrum but he has a point that he really doesnt exhibit much in the way of true feelings of either really happy moods or severe dark moods. He is kind of this person who doesnt show any emotions. My mother died and she was the one who took a ton of care for him and he never really cried about it. The other two boys did and to my surprise, I actually did and I didnt think I would considering how rocky our relationship had been. I still have some raw emotions over it but he doesnt seem to. Then there was my father and he seemed to almost just be there to pat me on the back. When I was in the hospital and so close to death, well he came and saw me but there was no real emotion. He sat on a chair and played games on his phone. No talk of being worried about me. I take it as maybe that is just his way of not being able to show he cares. There are a few times he will watch a tv show with me and find it funny. Not often. Most things he likes are books, movies and his video games. I do think he is depressed over his job but one thing he said was he eats so much because he doesnt have the ability to know when to stop because he never feels happy or satisfied with anything. I can actually understand that to a degree because when I am extremely depressed nothing will satisfy me at all. [/QUOTE]
