[QUOTE="SleepyMommy, post: 738143, member: 23318"] It’s so hard especially because for some reason no matter how much his therapist and I tell him otherwise, he takes his dad’s word as law mostly. Though I was impressed he continued therapy when his dad continually put it down. I actually didn’t back down at all like I usually do (I’m working through some of the PTSD from my marriage bit by bit) and maybe that helped him not back down either. He is VERY smart and has ridiculously good hearing so he picks up on so much, I think I have to tell him for no reason other than he’s going to over hear it at some point. The logical (Ravenclaw) part of my brain knows even if his dad took it to court -which he wouldn’t for financial reasons no matter how often he threatens me- he would lose because I have specialists and science to back me up and he just has his disdain for mental health in general. His nephew is autistic but severely so, in that he has the language issues and other stereotypical issues. This only strengthens his resolve that our son is fine because he has great grades and doesn’t complain about his social issues, so I’m exaggerating them. Truth be told my son is so afraid of disappointing his dad and not seeming manly he refuses to talk about feelings with him. It’s a mess. And for what it’s worth... my patronus is also a cat, but a Himalayan. And my current husband too has several of the same issues my son does... but I’m certain my husband is a Slytherin. Thanks for the reply!! [/QUOTE]
