    I think it's the autism and he is selfish.But mostly he is being very childish.


    Tell him he is a grown man with a son and he has to work he can't retire right now. If he is having challenges at work he should express them. One parent quitting a job with a higher income for one to take one up with a lower income just shows how little grip on reality he has.

    In fairness to him that might not all be his fault. But if it's the autism you have to 1 Tell him and 2 Make the decisions.

    You will also have to get really honest and tell him he probably doesn't have the skills or ability to be your son's carer. He is a grown man with a son he needs to be working he can't retire right now.

    Secondly I am very sorry about your experiences etc.

    But you have to get better to be a parent for your son. Your son needs to be your first priority in life.

    He already has his own challenges and is coming from a challenging background.

    This is going to be really harsh and I am really sorry.

    But you both need to get your act together. I hope you realize that. I mean you too.


    I mean you have a child with special needs and the two of you are arguing over who is going to have a job.



    Parents don't have the luxury of 2 yrs medical leave. You need to get yourself healthy.

    I think i am being harsh here. So if other people have more experience with this etc and have softer suggestions. I think you should listen as a good balance.
