There ages are 22, 17, 7, and 4. . They have really amazing personalities and are so innocent. but. there only fun to hang out with in very short periods of time... The first three have aspergers and archer has very slight autism.. the best autism any parent with an autistic child can as for. Now. the one i have the most difficulty with is the 17yr old and the 7 yr old. the 17yr old has major emotional trama.. his mom cheated on his dad and he first found out when he was 6 and had to go to a therapist for anger issues when he was 8. he started acting out in school,only toward female teachers, and kids started to bully him... he bullied back... he just has alot of anger toward any woman.. he hates his mom, which is heart breaking because i never imagined a kid ever hating a mom ( mine was amazing and is my best friend).. so i come into his life...he was at first happy.. because he never seen his dad so happy.. soon he got jealous of me for taking his dad away, and leaving him with his mom.. but we had to find a new place, since he lost the house he built, so when we finally got him back he was very mad. constant anger. wouldnt make any eye contact with me. called me names and fat on a daily basis, for weeks.. of course never in front of his dad.. what drew the line for me was when he started disrespecting his dad. i felt like i had to defend him.. which was a bad call.. and i, before that, had kept my mouth shut, thought it was a phase.. so than after that he started doing it in front of his dad, and they would get into a fight. and there would just be so much tension. then the holidays came around and his mother made him to go home or else he wouldnt go on a two week vacation in hawaii.... than he stayed there two weeks after hawaii.. and when he came back.. it was like he really appreciated me. we get into little arguments every now and then but now its way better.. i just get annoyed that he wears the same shirt same pants to school everyday and eats the worst junk food ever, ruins my electronics when he borrows them, never goes to sleep and instead of taking the bus to school like every other normal child.. purpose-fully waits for the last minute to do anything and makes his dad give him a ride to school. Im sure i do very annoying things too.... i have never liked other peoples kids.. especially if there spoiled.. never baby sat... until i entered this relationship. now i do it almost everyday.. and im a stay at home artist. and hes a super busy crabber and gold miner that if he wants to see his kids.. i have to make that sacrafice of my personal time..to watching his boys so when he does come home, he will be able to see them and have quality time with them..
