Single Parenting/Asperger's/Coming Home from Dad's

[Guest guest]

I'm a single mom and have been since the kid was pretty little. Most of the

time it's OK and it has been better since we got the dx, but there are some

problems.

First there is that loneliness that someone else has talked about. I'm in this

alone. I'm his only advocate. His dad doesn't even believe this is real and

hasn't ever been a parent. He's pretty much a Disneyland Dad.

The biggest problem seems to be coming home from dad's house. I am insisting

that he come home earlier so he has more time to decompress on Sunday evenings.

He's making it through homeschooling with my sis on Mondays, but Monday evenings

are a disaster. If he has to do anything (chores helping with stuff) he begins

to melt down.

I'm at a loss here. Any ideas?

Any other words of wisdom that is specific to single parenting and Asperger's?
