Additional Needs & Masking

[purpleme12]

Is it normal to mask in front of everyone but their mum?
Ie she doesn't show the really bad stuff to her dad.
She lives with me full time. Still sees her dad.
Doesn't live with him so he's more special if you like as she sees less of him

Yes absolutely normal as you are her safe space.

Yes - textbook masking in that it only “slips” with people or in environments where a person doesn’t feel vulnerable enough to have to mask.

Yep! I don’t mask infront of immediate family but I do with grandparents, wider family & friends.
