I felt I needed to contact H about D12 (his SD12). I had a parent-teacher conference today. She's doing really really well, but she mentioned that she hasn't seen H in a long time to the teacher. BACKGROUND: D12 has Aspergers, we didn't know what to tell her about S, so we said H was going to be working out of town for a bit.
D12 really loves H. So I texted him to let him know we need to follow through with our plan to have a family night out on a regular basis for D12s sake. His response: "I didn't think I had that much of an influence on either of you."
My response:" I'm sorry you feel that way". H: "not trying to be crappy, I guess I'm just lost"
Then I steered it to specifics about dinner on Wednesday. We now have solid plans.
Did I handle that right? Not sure how to deal with him in pity-party mode. I don't want to coddle him, but he needs to feel he's being heard on some level, too.
Any thoughts??
