[QUOTE="buddy, post: 467684, member: 12886"] Awww, Everyone passes things on to their kids good and bad. I honestly dont think you should feel guilty even if it is you. I also dont think you can blame your hubby. I imagine your therapist just mentioned it out of interest and the fact that lots of us notice that in families. Especially can't feel guilty for something that you have no control over. on the other hand, things that my son does like me....tee hee...must totally be my fault! That's ok it happens in all families. What good and amazing things do your kids do like you? It is not so bad to be a "loner" One aspie I had in a class was alone one day and we encouraged her to join a group of little friends and she looked at me and said, "you know, just because I am alone doesn't mean I am lonely!" So, if you are feeling guilty or blame, my humble opinion is to try your best to let it go. You have enough on your plate and this is out of your hands. If you are just curious, it is kind of cool to look for some things in us that we see in our kids. Do you have things in yourself that you think you want to work on (we all do, dont we) and you could share the experience with you son?
