My son has SEN possible ASD and my mum doesn't manage well.. she often belittles or picks up all the negatives.. often highlighting to me how rude or he's done this or said that every time.. no warmth, plays with him occasionally but looks like she doesn't want to be there with him, isn't present just doing it out of duty.. it's so upsetting and difficult to accept..

My family are really shit, my own mother in particular is useless..

My son needs love, nurturing and warmth.. my own family do not give this..

You need your family to rally in love and support, meanwhile what you are describing doesn't sound very nice. Are you dependent on them to look after your son?

Bit fully dependent but my mum occasionally babysits or helps, not much though..

That's good that you are not fully dependent as she doesn't sound up to the job so far. It's so sad. I'm sorry OP.
One thing for sure she can't be allowed to continue behaving as she does; her comments are the last thing anyone needs.
