From S. Michaels

Yes, I think we need to talk about acceptance of our AS husbands. I think the following link will be of great benefit:

After over 35 years of marriage I have found that making myself focus on my husband’s positive qualities and appreciating them verbally is of great benefit in our relationship.

Comment on How Do I Honor An Abusive Parent? by Robin Ewers

my parents mistreated me so much. Even now as an adult I carry so much pain with me from what they caused. They take no responsibility at all. I have a relationship with them but it makes me sick at times. I can’t decide what to do. Cut ties or not. I feel so conflicted and I ask God daily for wisdom.

I hope all of you ladies are doing well. I wanted to begin a new thread regarding acceptance. i have been prating and doing the best I can to remain patient. ALthough I know that my husband being diagnosed with AS is something that poses problems in our relationship, I also know that no person is perfect and we all yearn to be accepted for who we are. So I am really trying to look pat the ‘problems’ and focus on what I DO get in my relationship….. Anyone have thoughts?

Comment on A Wounded Heart by Jeanne Sumstine

I have tried but the hurt is still there.
My husband is not a Christian.
His words are twisted and turned in a way
that it makes me look like the villain I am not the
villain.
I do not know where to go for help and being a chronic
pain patient makes its harder. I cannot work, I tried for a year. My surgery left me worse. As I have said before I do not know who to go to. I pray for Jesus’s intercesion. and it does not come. I keep praying.

I’m glad I could be an encouragement to you Elizabeth. It seems to me that your husband is feeling insecure. I used to be angry at my husband because he is so gifted in helping others with their problems, but when it came to himself he didn’t have a clue and he would be so out of touch about himself. I expected him to know better but now I see what God can do in a person’s life in spite of autism. I see his spirit growing enabling him to reach out to me a bit more even though he still doesn’t get emotion. My prayer for your husband would be that he would experience healing and the grace of God – I know its hard when you feel like the one who has been abandoned and rejected. You have clearly been a great mum to your kids. I trust all of the ladies here will find a measure of comfort in sharing openly. As we agree together in spirit, we can know that God is with us. May He bring us all into more revelation and freedom!
