managing consistency and routine in a separated family

jacksmum8

hi i am new to the group although i have been a member of the autist society for a year or so.

my son is awaiting diagnoise. my husband and i separated 6 yrs ago and i am having great difficulty getting him to acknowledge my sons needs - social and emotional, violent behavoiur etc.

i also have an older child who has no problems with school and behaviour.

i have recently had to re apply to the courts to reduce contact as dad is not helping situation and supporting my son and me with his disability. he has a SEN and health care plan in place, my son needs structure and consistency which dad is not providing.

how do other families manage this?

thanks

  • I have the same problem. My sons Dad has weekly contact but he don't get my sons condition & often tells him off & causes unnessisary issues over things that are not my sons fault. His dad is selfish & will causes arguments for example because my son touches his car radio & nobody messes with his radio (grow up!) I feel my son is on edge around his Dad so his behaviour is worse & everything from the school runs to playing etc.. is 10 times harder & a nightmare for all!!!
