RE: Single or Divorced Parents with Autistic Children. Do you experience the same?

[Guest guest]

Both my sisters have children with disabilities and have found people to

love them and their children. One of their kids was diagnosed with

schizophrenia and was in the state hospital at Vernon at age 10.

Tell your sister NOT TO GO BACK! No one should have to live a life of

abuse. The abuser telling her that no one else would want her is part of

the cycle. Women's Protective Services could help her understand it

more. Drop me a note if you need help locating a local group for her.

Single or Divorced Parents with

Autistic Children. Do you experience the same?

Was my sister’s former abusive husband right? My sister was married

to her husband for 17 agonizing years, she suffered much abuse both

physically, and mentally. She’s much better, but dealing with

loneliness. Her ex-husband once told her that she might as well stay

married to him, because no one else would be interested in her with

her retarded son. Our older sister is supporting to return to

the abusive relationship because she too believes that the only

person wants her is the ex. I believe differently. I’m finding it

quite challenging trying to be the positive one in the group, but

have no proof to back my positive talk. Was my sister’s former

abusive husband right? Is ’s chance for love over? She's

beautiful, but when a guy find out about her son , they have a

sudden change of heart. I told her to find someone who shares the

same experience with his or her own child. That way, understanding

would be reached. I need help and advice, If you can help me, help my

sister, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks!

If you could point me in the right direction, perhaps there’s a

singles group in Houston with like interest?
