Well we had a good talk. Apparently he just thought I expected more out of him than he can give me. Which is NOT the case. He said it wasn't about the beer in a can at all that it just worried him that I am going to expect a different type of lifestyle than he can provide. I said WOAH DUDE hold up we are just dating! I am not trying to make you my next ex husband !(insert laughter) He thinks because of the money I make I live some sort of glam lifestyle. He is so mistaken. I spend the majority of my income on private care for Isaac so I do not have to institutionalize him. So I am not rolling in the dough. I have a simple house...simple furnishings and a simple life. So once we got that out of the way I think he calmed down. Well I know he did. We are going out this week. I work some seriously LONG hours this week so a nice out with him will be nice!

Thumbs up to you, Cutefont! Sounds like you've already walked a very long road. My oldest son has cerebral palsy, but he doesn't need that much supervision... and he gets trying to me at times- but I've had it EASY compared to you with your son! Having a child with special needs is quite demanding. (((((((((hugs))))))))))) but yay for you too- because you know you are cut from a very tough fabric to be able to handle all of that!

Cutefont you deserve a "Mum of the Year" award!
Having him wander about during the night would be terrifying, no wonder you try to have 24 hour care for him.
I hope things work out with "canned beer guy".
