A slight bit of background I have an autistic son of 11 and an elder dd. I am basically a single parent as hubby not interested and does nothing to help and grand parents have a really good child free life now. I really have to beg for help from either party parents say hubby should do more hubby says my parents need to stop putting themselves first and help me with the children. Anyway we all spent a day together very very very rare but when my son had a meltdown there way of dealing with it is to use derogatory language "pathetic, baby and wimp". Basically I am too soft on him and have to come down on him like a tonne of bricks. None of them believe in autism and think my softly softly approach has made him the way he is. I thought I was very tune with his needs but now I think it is my fault but am so completely totally exhausted from doing everything on my own that I have created his behaviour. I have never had a day off and never will as they are all wrapped up in their own lives. They detest one of the obsessions he has and says I pander to it and rule everything round it. I need to get tough and when I start getting tough then they will help more. Please help is it me or all three of them being unreasonable. I feel like they are all ganging up on me.
