My DH and I got married on Christmas Day, and he left me last year for another woman so today was really hard for me.
I moved in with my Mum a few weeks ago because I couldn't afford to keep up the house payments since the divorce and went with Mum and Dad to a party at our family's house tonight.
My DS is 10 and is autistic and gets quite agitated in crowds of people and when they were playing charades he was fidgeting a lot and making some noise and generally being over excited and I asked him to calm down but he was finding it hard. He was sitting next to my Mum and she ended up really shouting at him which upset him so he left the room and wouldn't come back in and just played on his own.
Mum came over to me and said in front of everyone that I'd caused it because I wasn't controlling him properly and wasn't paying attention and she said it was my fault he was sitting in the hallway and she felt sorry for him. She blabbered on about how she never let her kids behave like that socially and acts like it's not even relevant that he's autistic.
I really was trying to control him but you can't get an autistic kid to behave by telling them off, they get stressed in social situations. I felt really humiliated and went home.
Then lost my cool and shouted at Mum and told her it was a really hard day for me and I didn't need her being nasty and she told me she wasn't discussing it any further.
I just feel so awful. My husband hated me, my Mum made me out to be a bad parent in front of the family and I just feel like a complete loser.
Am crying in my bedroom right now, wishing finances hadn't forced me to move in with them. Just want to run away from life. I just feel like everyone hates me and I try so hard to just do well and it's never good enough
