People judging

Shesco

I may sound like I'm on a rant but in fact I'm feeling so upset. My teenage son is autistic and suffers from depression. He's not had a great week then tonight he had a huge tantrum and threatened to hurt himself...in the middle of this my neighbour knocked at the door and said we were stopping his granddaughter getting to sleep..then it hit me...Why can't people show an empathy and understanding for our children. I am trying my best and all people do is judge, why not compassion? Does anyone else understand how I'm feeling?

  • Thanks for your response Hope. In answer to your question it was 8 o'clock in the evening when it happened, he's not had a good week due to his anxiety and depression. I bought some flowers for my neighbours and I've had a chat. They thought that with my sons condition I would have a raft of support to call upon when he is like that. I haven't, I'm a single parent with no close family near by. it is a problem in society that we live in each other's lives but like you say we need to find common ground to understand each other and move forward.....thanks
