I just said, " Okay. Have a good day at school! "

Thank you.

Keion will care for you deeply, in his own way.

I bought a book he'd been wanting yesterday.

After he read some of it, I came and sat in his room

with him.

" do you like the book? "

no answer

" is it a funny book? "

no answer

" Well, good night then "

As I reach the door I hear him say, softly

" I love it. Thanks Mom. "

Keion may not show affection the way other kids do,

but he will care for you, in his own way, in his own

time.

Ah Jacquie,

I hope you find it soon. I am with you though, I don't think it would be easy.

KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey nobody said you had to like your relatives all the time, this includes

the NT ones also. Remember, you can pick your friends but not your

relatives.

Too true....

I didn't even CONSIDER the whole theory of mind thing, Raena! You're

absolutely right.

Well, I finally realized what I had to be thankful about -- one thing that I

mourned long ago was the idea that my child would ever give enough of a crap

about things to slam the door one me and scream, " I hate you! You ruined my

life! "

So in that way, 's telling me he hated me was actually a wonderful gift.

I wonder if that is the literal interpretation of Drop Dead?

The other side of this....

Sometimes I WISH my son would've told me he hated me or whatever he was

feeling at the time. He never did. He was always respectful and never talked

down/back to me. If he did, maybe I'd have a clue into what was going on

with him. :-(

At least if they tell you, then you can at least have an idea that something

is going on and open discussion.

I never " disrespected " my mother either...never would THINK of telling her

" I hate her " . Still can't do it. LOL

Poor Jacquie. I think you're getting a dose of nt-ness that is the less

pleasant side.
