My Husband is the Worst Father

Age has a huge part in this, ill have to admit I was once that shitty parent I’m father of an 11 year old and I was 20 when he was born I still had growing up to do I wasn’t ready for child but who is really. Most cases maturity for men don’t come until late 20s early 30 and now I’m not the same person I once was I do a lot for my son who also has problems mentally. I wish I could go back and be a better father. I hope he learns and grows up and helps you and be a man that he should be. You should sit with him maybe even write Down to do list it’s two person job for taking care of a child with extra needs and you should let him know that things need to change, it’ll take time but hey it worked for me and better parents now thanks to my so it took time unfortunately. There’s a lot of organizations and programs that help parents with children with needs, such as behavioral specialist, skills trainers. Look into these, they help tremendously.
