I was browsing for strategies to help living with my mom and brother be more tolerable and found this link

http://www.empoweringparents.com/adult-child-living-at-home-part-two.php


The 'tiredmom' post sure struck me as the daughter being on the spectrum, there are a few small kernels of empathy but the majority nearly constitutes hate speech

(I didn't bother signing up for the their spam list, don't trouble yourself either)

I don't understand why they want you to put in your email so you can read the rest. They say they won't share it with anyone.

I don't see this as disturbing. It's negative, yes, and the parents are probably uneducated as to how to properly communicate with their child about the responsibilities that the child faces. Unfortunately, there are tons of parents like this out there and all I could ever see myself being able to change is to work with their child and to justify why certain ways of communicating with the child are more effective than others.

And why is their mailing list "spam"? I don't see anything wrong with the article itself. Also, I don't see how you knew that tired mom's child is on the spectrum. The problems she has mentioned could all be due to depression/other mental health issues.
