I know I couldn't do it..You have had a tough road to travel with your new family, but you are doing it..Just remember that my thoughts and prayers are always with the two of you.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thank you Pat. It has meant so much to me to have the DS, or I would never have been able to have my new family. Because when our son went off, we had just moved to a new city where we knew no one, and where we had no family, this group has been my greatest support. I have come to realize how important it is to have people believe in you and cheer you on. I guess somewhere, somehow, we thought the problems with our daughter were trauma based and that with enough love, security, and therapy, that she would be able to overcome much of it and go on to live a pretty normal life. We are having to face and realize that she is a very impaired child, and that we can get her help to deal with that impairment, but she is always going to be a very damaged girl and then woman. It is sobering to think of this. And scary. And, I wonder how God thinks I have the skill or the patience to be the parent I need to be. As a young woman, I believed that I would grow up to be a missionary. If you'll forgive the comparison... sometimes I think that God sent me my own little heathens right into my home. That way, I have running water, and can make my "bathroom runs" in between my crises with the kids. Laff... hope none of you are offended. Elle ** Elle, You make me proud to know you and Gene.
