Do you feel loved by your parents?

Post Reply New Topic

eDad, are you CERTAIN you're not on the spectrum? Cause I could have written that about my own two children. I have a very hard time letting them know they're loved. I make a very conscious effort to do so, because I believe a large part of my problems are due to not having received that love as a child.

It's complicated - is the parent capable of giving love in a way that is obvious to a child who may have perceptual issues with feeling love?

No, mum doesn't let me go out, so she musn't love me.

I feel loved by my parents, about 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time, I don't.

I get confused sometimes.

I think that mum is keeping me in, but I don't know that for sure.

I have the worst parents in the world. Those people have continuously supported me despite my numerous failures at school. They have been very understanding of my condition and neither too strict nor too lenient. They have provided me with motivation that I had trouble providing for myself. My mom cooks good meals almost every night, and my dad spends almost 11 hours a day either on the road to or from work, or at work, and doesn't complain about driving me to school. Worst of all, they are fun to talk to. God, I hate those people.

I guess my mom likes me because she supports me a lot even though she's very mean to me sometimes; although, I'm not sure about my dad. He sometimes starts saying things like "I love you and your mom" and "you two are the most important people in my life" but he also likes to insult me and shout at me for no reason or for stupid reasons.

My mother is too beautiful (kind, gentle, caring, selfless, compassionate, loving et alli) for this world; she’s never been truly appreciated by anyone. She loves me, and I love her (the “care for you more than I care for myself” type of love).

My father loves me in his own way (I guess I love him in my own way too; the “acknowledgement of good deeds that have been done in the past” and "happy memories that shouldn't be overshadowed by the sad ones" types of love).

My mother's like bipolar or something so sometimes she acts like she gives a s**t about me and sometimes she stays up until 2 a.m. ranting and raving about how she wishes I was never born.

My mom frequently let me know she never wanted more than 2 kids (I'm #3). She also never let me know I was diagnosed with AS (first dx was when I was 6). She always told me that my "shyness" was a perverse form of "vanity." My dad worked allll the time, so I didn't know him well. Mom died 5-6 yrs. ago. And dad retired, so we've had a chance to get to know each other a little. He thinks I'm funny, multi-
talented, and hard working, but a little strange.
