Hi ChavInAHat,

I'm sorry you had a tough session...........but I'd say, that ultimately..........she was still in the wrong for abusing you, you weren't/aren't "in the wrong" for having autism
Autism never justifies abuse, it wasn't your fault your mother was how she was.
And I'm betting that some of those traits were exaggerated because of some of her behaviour........and she's fully responsible for that too!!!
And why she did it........let's not be holding all the focus on you, hey??
She is responsible and her alone, the fault was in her, not in you
