Hi I think I did a quick intro previously. I have been reading some emails as they come in and love the connection that many have with their kids, wishing that I did with my 15 year son. He has really nose dived recently , hardly attending school, I swear he is high functioning autistic yet some now say they see traits but it's been a long hard journey. He hates me now, hardly speaks, but swears a lot at me , doesn't leave the house unless with big girlfriend who is so unstable, been hospitalised recently due to Suicide wishes and self harm and personality disorder and a string of abuse allegations to family . I do has little support too late, the only thing that keeps me strong is my daughter who is 12 and the will to be a great role model for her, my job and friends and yoga! Thank god for yoga. I have no idea of the future as none of us do, yet I have exhausted every avenue to help my son now as he does not see he has a problem at all, shame as academically at school his results were so high and he was wishing to study ATAR next year. Sad lots. Any positive vibes out there, after such a long journey single handed with my son , the marriage didn't last , we separated 7 years ago, ex is a narcist , and he is now help but a hinder and still contravenes family orders and is not the best role model to my son to respect me, yet in public he acts like an amazing person. Why do I write ? Guess it's a medium where some will understand, that there are many gaps in the support system and seems my son has fallen through most, sad as he is a kid still yet needs so much helps. Two weeks ago a meltdown an $ 1000 worth of damage, the support and advice is to call 000 , lol then what !!!! Crisis care ... Very sad.
