Agony aunt Coleen Nolan has some advice for a reader who was assaulted as a prison officer, tied up in an armed robbery and had cancer but whose autistic son has made her life increasingly difficult
Dear Coleen I have a son who is 30 and he lives with me, along with his daughter. He has full custody and she doesn’t see her mum. I love my son, but he’s on the autistic spectrum, has severe ADHD and mental health issues, and is very hard work.
I know he doesn’t mean it, but it hurts. I used to have loads of confidence. I was in the Army for eight years then a prison officer for 20 years. I was medically retired 10 years ago after two bad assaults left me with leg and back injuries. I’ve thought of throwing him out, but I couldn’t do that to my granddaughter. I’m only 54 and want to do so much more.
Coleen Says Well, if it wasn’t for your granddaughter, I’d be encouraging you to get away and live your life. But I do appreciate that’s not possible right now.
