Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 , you sound like you are of Italian heritage. What you describe is what happens in a traditional Italian home. When I was young, I married into an Italian family. It was overwhelming at first..... Lol my mother' core family was Mexican and my father's family was Jewish. Both cultures are rich in family values as other cultures. Both families had members that married into different cultures so we are a very divertive family. Very strong family ties. My family LOVED Larry and still does. They just accepted him for him and at the time he was so good to me. I use to wonder if maybe if I had not moved away from California from my family ties if it iwould of made a difference in my marriage as for the first time Larry who grew up with no family ties and that was not because they did not love he but because he felt no connection at the time somehow felt so connected to my family that was so big and diversified. But then again, all of our friends loved my family and never missed an opportunity to hang out with them. My parents just came up to visit us for a week and Larry my ex-self dx. Aspie made time to have lunch and dinner with us. Our Aspie daughter when having dinner in my house took an angry jab at me at the dinner table and her ASPIE grandmother called her on it. I was in the kitchen hoping this would just go away. Lol Larry told her show some respect for your mom and SHUT UP NOW.! She still was running her mouth. An Aspie out of control. She did not get it. Larry finally stopped her and she still did not get it. Why was everyone angry at her and not me? Tony Attwood wrote about this in his first book. There is no filtering process in some ASPIES. She is FAT! Well, everyone can see that and we don’t need YOU to constantly announce that in mixed company. It is rude and socially unacceptable and just embarrasses YOU. Bitt and I had words later and it was not pretty, but she got the point and whimpered off. In this case it is like the Sinatra Syndrome, MY way or the highway. She is of age and I am no longer legally responsible for her and she needs to learn some respect for her elders and when to bite her tongue. She does this at work too. It is amazing she still has a job. Lol Britt is a good daughter in many ways and a love and joy to me but she is still AS and for the rest of our lives together we will have these ASPIES moments. My AS son is a joy. She is like hell on sped when she gets a bee in her bonnet and can’t understand why I and the rest of the world can’t see life the way she does……………… /Just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
