bad mum

leolibramum

At the minute i feel like the worst parent on the planet. My 11 year old has re-started having melt downs. I love him to bits but i have to admit i dread him coming in from school and even more so the weekends. The slightest thing seems to set him off and i have to admit it is getting worse. The rule of the house is "if he is happy and getting what he wants everything is fine". I have family but am having the issue of my parents tell me i make things worse by ignoring his outbursts. I have been told i am ruining his life by getting him assessed, but as his mum i feel i have to do everything i can do to help him in the future. any advice would be greatfully accepted

  • My eldest, just turned 12 has used the same sentence on me, that I am ruining her life getting her assessed.  But as their mums we can see things they will need that they can't.

    My daughter just started school (having been home-educated for 3 years) and has been cracking up under the responsibility, issues understanding what people mean, social things, so she needs the right support.  They may hate it now, but one day will understand.  It's not as if they need to go round broadcasting that they have an ASC, it's their choice who they disclose it to, although of course the school need to know.
