I am 40 years old and I have a 9 year old son. My boyfriend is 29 and we live together. He doesn't have kids and doesn't seem to have alot of patience with my son. I try and try to talk to him about it but he doesn't seem to want to. Oh and did I mention my son has Aspergers Syndrome? So he's not like most 9 year old boys and he is ADD/ADHD on top of it! My boyfriend thinks my son is spoiled because he thinks I baby him. And my boyfriend is the only one working so he pays all the bills & buys the groceries. He never lets either one of us forget that and he treats us kinda bad as a result! I love him more than anything and I really wnt this to work and we have no where to go if it doesn't! Can you please offer any advice????
