Where do we go from here....

[Guest guest]

I like many parents feel so lost right now. The waiting list to get my son

evaluated for aspergers is about 6 months. I need to know how to help him now. I

really feel as if I have failed him all these years. I knew in my heart that

something was amiss but I kept letting others talk me out of it and tell me his

problems are due to needing more disipline. When he would get angry as he often

does people would look down on me as if I was this incompitant parent that would

allow her child to act in the way he does. I can't tell you how many times I

have lost my temper with him. People close to us, especially his dad ride him

hard all the time and tell him that no one will like him and he will never have

any friends if he keeps acting the way he does. His dad tells him that he'll

just beat it out of him(but he never hits him) My son must feel like no one is

on his side. I really try and I tell him every day that I love him and that God

gave me the best son in the whole world, but I don't think he believes me.My

husband and I are separated right now and I just want to do what is best for my

son. I am so tired of being ridiculed. Tonight I just layed next to him in his

bed for awhile while he slept. He was so peaceful just like an angel. How do I

go back and repair all the damage we may have caused him over the years. I need

a starting place. what works...how do i help him
