My son is 12 and autistic he is different to other 12 yr old boys . My husband who is also his father for context and him have never got on. Now my son is 12 and add to the autism, his obscure interests and the general hormonal changes of a 12 yr old the relationship between them has widened even more. Every weekend I try to get them to bond but every time it just goes wrong and one of them ends up causing an argument and the other one fights back. I think it is my duty as a mother to "make them" like each other but the more I try the worse it gets. Should I just accept that sometimes a parent and child just do not get on??

Does your dh have difficulties understanding different people's perspective or interpreting social situations?

Your husband is quite clearly a cunt.

Agree with many others - how can you possibly say ‘they’re both as bad as each other’ - when one is a child, and you’re actually saying(?!) his father doesn’t like him ‘for who he is’...?

You should be considering removing your poor boy from this situation if it isn’t going to improve.

Your husband sounds like a cunt. Tell him to get his shit together or leave. You should have protected your child from this. Start doing so now.
