Hi All,
Am looking for some advice. Last May (2010) due to financial constraints I needed to find work away from home. Local wages just didn't meet the bills and subsequently I find myself in England during the week and back home in Wales at weekends.
Trouble is, I can't tell if my DS of 14 is troubled/pleased/bothered/upset...... ( at this stage I should mention that DS has Aspergers Syndrome, which tends to mean that normal teenagerdom is exaggerated)
At home there is DH, DS and DH's dad (all boys together) and yes relocation ( when I finally get a perm role) is an option but not until DS has done his GCSEs and possibly A levels, so the situation isn't likely to improve for a couple of years..
In true teenage style, if I ask DS, how he is I get a grunt, if he's happy I get the same reaction... he spends alot of time in his room ( which I guess is normal teenage behaviour)..
He is not any moodier since I started working away, in fact there has been no change in his personality at all, should I take this as a good thing?
I think I may have more of a problem with it than everyone else in the household.. I feel so guilty... but I know I have to keep a roof over the families head.
Any advice offered is gratefully received...
