No faith in parents

autismtwo

I have no faith in my parents,, I feel they are not there for me both generally and in emergencies,, I would even go as far as to say,, half my autism is due to them growing up with out guidance, support and a safety net.

Does anyone else have no faith in there parents, and do you think it is linked to your autism spectrum or do you think it is just the autism spectrum making me think like this ?

Parents

  • As a parent, I wanted to write to defend parents and say it's not easy.

    Most parents want to love and support their children but it different at diffrent ages.  When they are little, it's easy to love, as they become teenagers it's a challenge to see eye-to-eye and as people grow older (that's children and parents) they grow back together.

    Plus everyone has their own perspective. So, parents might think they are being supportive whilst the child might think they are being unloving.

    What I'm saying is things change over time and try and see thing from the other point of view as well as your own (not instead of).

    We all have things that are going on in our head, whoever we are, but just take a moment to remember that we are not the only person involved in the parent/child relattionship and that parents have things going on too.  Something that you may not realise is going on.
