Hello my friends i havent been on SN much, ive been a bit frightened of posting, although thats silly really but thats the way i have been feeling.
A lot has been happening in the Jenk house.
We have the puppy back, DS was very depressed over him and our psych told us that it was the puppy not being here that was doing it so we had to ask FIL for the dog back.
FIL was not very happy but said he couldnt see DS upset.
Now thats what he said to my face however what he said to DH is a different matter, he said that we have put the autism into DS,s head, and that DS doesnt have AS, he,s just a bit of a worrier.
When DH tried to explain he shouted him down.
Our psych has offered to write a letter explaining that DS does have AS and why children with AS are very good at hiding the way they feel but FIL doesnt want to accept the word of a proffesional.
We have since found out that the dog has been mistreated, he has had fleas and nothing has been done, we have de-flead him, he was being fed on a diet of tinned spaghetti hoops, kebabs you name it, he is supposed to be on a special diet as advised by the vet.
He was manky and greasy when we got him back and not happy but within 3 days he has been bathed, deflead, given his proper food, taken for plenty of walks and got millions of cuddles from DS, the puppies tail is always wagging now.
Saw FIL the other night and tried to explain about DS and he shouted me down 4 times, he wouldnt let me speak, DS isnt even his biological grandchild so i dont understand why he,s being like this.
Its not the first time he.s been like this with me, he seems to have a problem with me and i cant be bothered any more, he also doesnt accept that DD has CP and says she,ll catch up.
So i have made a decision not to go to his house any more, he never comes up here anyway so i wont see him much, it gets to the point where- i think it was jimjams who said (sorry if its not you JJ) that im not bothereing with negative people anymore, people who make me feel depressed when i think that we are doing a great job as parents in an incredibly different situation.
We have also been told that the rest of the family have been slagging us off for making things up about our children and that we are fussing about nothing
So, thats my saturday morning rant over with!!!
