[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 558714, member: 1233"] I am sorry he is such an idiot about this. You cannot make him understand or accept this. You CAN teach your kids to stand up to him and tell him that his comments are hurtful and mean and that they are unacceptable. You can also begin to prepare yourself for children who refuse to go on visitation to his home or to spend time with him. That is sad, but ifyu feel so hurt and rejected you don't want to be in that situation. If the ages in your sig are correct, they are soon reaching ages where the court won't force them to go spend time with him. It sounds like a big part of his denial stems from the "I am perfect so my kids are and if I recognize some imperfection/problem in the kids then it means that I might not be perfect!" . Some people simply cannot cope with that. by the way, why is normal something he needs so badly? I want my kids to be extraordinary, special, unique, and fabulous. Normal is booooooooooooooooring in the extreme, in my opinion. My kids are a lot of things, good and bad things, but they are NOT normal. I am willing to bet you would throw your ex's brain into a tailspin if you asked him why he wanted to settle for normal? Why he doesn't want them to be extraordinary, super, wonderful, fantabulous, and amazing? I wonder if he could name ten 'normal' people who changed the world? It is a shame he thinks that you created this diagnosis, but he sure does think you are powerful! Maybe he should be a bit afraid of you? After all, you DID convince a well respected neuropsychologist, the school, the other docs and tdocs, etc... that your son is autistic when he is just shy. That took some major powers of persuasion. You need to start wearing a cape with a big P on it. We can call you "The Persuader!" [/QUOTE]
