Yep, exactly the same here. He literally cannot hide his feelings or his thoughts and he doesn’t lie to me too. Brutally honest.This is exactly how my 11 year old boy is. No secrets with him. Everyone knows what I’ve been up to, why he’s annoyed etc. I love how all my friends always ask him what’s happened as he’s so honest. He never lies to me either.
It was difficult at first as he's always been a handful. Everyone automatically tells you what you are doing wrong. I genuinely was trying everything. I felt and still quite often feel deflated.
Unlike Rancid, I never had 100 safe people for him. He was with me or his dad. He still won’t stay anywhere he stayed at my sisters recently and sat up all night.
I hate that Rancid makes it all about her, her struggles etc.
I can completely sympathise with feeling deflated sometimes. No two days are ever the same and there is always a new challenge to overcome
She is extremely selfish and it really annoys me as well, especially as children are the most vulnerable of our society, autistic children even more so. It breaks my heart to see her stories involving the kids sometimes
