My OH (Aspergers) finds it very difficult to parent his children twin boys 19 and daughter 14, over the years all 3 of them have led him a merry dance because of this. Particularly his daughter who quite simply plays on his lack of discipline and parenting. His daughter is anorexic and they see a dietician every 2 weeks, there is a menu plan in place which is very specific and very straight forward. I can not get OH to understand the damage his daughter is doing to herself, he needs to support her and encourage her to eat when she is with us 40% of the time. He hates confrontation, the nature of this illness does cause volatility, there have been plenty of tantrum, to avoid this he doesn't encourage her to eat her required calories and backs down immediately if she defies or confronts him. To try and shock him into taking responsibility I asked how he would feel in 10 / 15 years time when she was unable to have children, he just shrugged and said her problem. I'm struggling to understand and accept this blase attitude - will we ever be able to get him step up to the mark? I
