Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Now i feel guilty about dissing on DH. He is a great dad and very hands on and supportive. He is so good with who just adores his dad. However sometimes he can say things that makes me want to smack him. But isn't that the way in all marriages, not just the ones with autism in them? Any way i just didn't want you guys to get the wrong impression of him. I am very lucky that he is involved as he is. In my support group I attend we have had 2 divorces this year, the dads just didn't want to deal with it anymore. However, to be fair we also have a divorced dad who has custody of his daughter with autism, mom in this family decided to give up and run. Well off to fight the bedtime battle-which is actually getting better with melatonin. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Sally: If your husband is at all acceptable, hang on to him. Autism is really hard on families; I think the divorce rate is close to 90%. I am glad to hear he is basically a great guy and, yes, even great guys (and great moms) have their bad moments.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Sally, Don't worry! All of our husbands are under a great deal of pressure too. Sometimes they are helpful, sometimes not! I'm glad that he is so supportive of you. That makes a big difference. My dh and I were separated for 6 months. It was a very hard time, but the time away did us both some good. He is now much more supportive of me and more attentive to the kids. Each dad handles the dx differently. Some take longer than others to deal with it. I'm glad you have such a good guy helping you out! Amy H--in Michigan Kepler 4 1/2 ASD and Bethany 6 NT " Harmony breeds ignorance. It is the dissonant chords of life that lead us to wisdom.
