Nice one, Pip. How was your ex about there being another man in their lives. My ex ia always threatening me about another man being in the same room as the kids.

The stories I could tell about the situations where I have met someones kids lol and their ex's lol

Pip has she being diagnosed?

My partner works with kids with learning disabilities and she swears I am borderline autistic

[Reverandfunk]

Soulette, I had the same problem with a partners ex.

He was more bothered about being on the lash and doing his own bodyweight in Charles, whilst I would take his son to the park, swimming, to the library etc. he was going to do this and do that til he got jailed for killing a bloke whilst he was drink driving on a provisional liscence.

We wonder why kids turn out bad.

Well Goodie..considering he had left me a year earlier for a woman with two boys he couldn't say much...lol.

Seriously he was great about it ~ the fact that he was (and still is) 200 miles away helps. He has been in and out of relationships since we split 13 years ago, and the only issue I have ever raised is that I didn't want the kids to meet up with other kids his women had only for the relationship to break down.

Considering Mr Pippa is the only partner I have had in 12 years I think he realises that my stable life has only been a settling environment for them :o)

Rev ~ the ball has finally started rolling after 2 years of professionals blithering about. I have to wait for 2 more meetings before I finally know the outcome. So far my daughter has only been described as a ''Delightful little enigma''!

[Pippa68]

Forgot to add, Rev ~ being described as 'borderline autistic' probably means you are a high functioning Aspie :o)

please translate lol

It's a credit to all you ladies (and gents) who respect your partners enough to wait until you are introduced to the children. My neice is six and has had 9 (off the top of my head) father / uncle / "friends" (she has never met her biological father so he is not included although she has spoken to him on the phone about a dozen times and has to call him daddy). Me and my hubby have been the only stability to her and I hope to God that this will help her when she is older that she knows that we'll always put her first if other people don't.

[Pippa68]

Aspergers Syndrome is on the Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

It is regarded as 'high functioning autism' by the fact that you can live a relatively 'normal' life ~ holding down a job or two, independence etc.

It is a very complex subject, and autism itself has so many degrees you wouldn't believe it. Not everyone is 'Rain Man' ~ and you couold put 20 autistic people into one room and discover that all have different symptoms.

Why does your partner think you are borderline?

[Reverandfunk]

By my behaviour, certain things i say or do, but she wont tell me what lol

They do say from the greatest light comes the darkest shadow....

[Pippa68]

As long as you are happy in your own skin, Rev...who cares whether you are an aspie or not?

:o)

[Reverandfunk]
