I’m so fed up with being told my relationship with my son is not normal.

I keep getting told by my ex that my relationship with my 16 year old son is not normal and it’s making me so angry and I feel sick from his comments. Sorry need to ask people’s advice so my 16 year old son has autism and I do stuff for him I drive him around cos he doesn’t like getting on public transport. He messages me and I reply to him and when I was with my ex it pissed him off and he said this relationship with my son is not normal I should be making my son walk places and I should ignore his phone calls and I am whipped by my son. He even called me a paedophile cos he said it’s like that cos I do stuff for him. It’s made me physically sick and I don’t know how much more I can take. I will never apologise for helping my son or being there for him. I want this bloke out of my life but he won’t stop harrassing me. Wish I didn’t feel like I was going insane how can someone be so sickening. Sorry just so angry.

Show your support

Ew what the fuck is wrong with him ignore him. Autism diagnosis aside, driving your son around and texting him frequently is completely normal behaviour. He’s autistic so it’s even more normal that you would do certain things to make his life easier. Tell him to mind his own fucking business or just block him. Or do both 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ingore him , austim or not no matter how old are children get we will always be there for them and help them when they need it weather it's lifts places , money , shopping , they may get older but they will never stop being out babies , you keep doing what you are doing , block this tos**er , you are a wonderful mum , don't let anyone tell you how to look after your own child

I’m 33 and I text my Mum every day and she still does things to help me all the time! That’s what family is about! And I hope when my daughter is 16 that me or her Dad will be the first people she texts if she’s stuck or needs anything. To me that shows you’ve cultivated a strong relationship with your boy and that’s not just normal, it’s something to be proud of as that’s not a given for all teenagers and parents.

I was expecting to read something that some people may find too much, but driving him places and texting him? Is he for real!? That's a perfectly normal thing to do for a child, autistic or not. Even as an adult i still text my mother daily and face time her a few times a week as we don't live close to one another. Keep supporting your son and tell anyone who questions such normal acts to f off

Thank you! I’ve just had enough of it. I feel it’s because he wants to control me he has no children or his own his mum doesn’t want to know him and he is jealous of my relationship with my son. My son has a girlfriend he has he’s own life to a certain extent but I will always support him if and when he needs me to. He doesn’t say anything about my relationships with my other children. I just think it comes down to jealousy he took me to a Wetherspoons once his friend worked at and the whole meal he was chasing his friend round talking to him. As soon as I come outside my son calls me and I answer and he made a massive argument cos I answered my phone and never made my son wait. All cos he paid for the meal.

What the hell. Aren’t you just being a parent? I’m 27 and I ring my mum probably 4 or 5 times a week after the school run and then also see her once a week as well! I can’t drive due to a medical condition so growing up my mum always use to take me somewhere or go get things for me. I’d be exactly the same for my daughter! Block the Ashole on everything

Oh for god's sake. He's your son and everyone's relationship is different and every child is different. My step mum is like best friends with my step brother. He's 22 and they've been ridiculously close since he was born and do you know what? He's turned into a damned nicer young man than most these days and I think it's that relationship that's done it. Tell him to fuck off
