Last word/Sorry for Chaos

[Guest guest]

First of all, I would like to apologize for all of this stuff being

brought back to the group. I tried to handle it offline but to no

remedy. In the beginning I just asked for peace from and escalating

problem. My mistake was getting involved in the first place. I am

sorry. Secondly, To Deb, My email may have been a little harsh I

apologize. I was angry and tried to voice my opinions to you offline

where I thought we could deal with each other like grown ups yet

here we are again where you brought it back to the group without my

permsission. To the group. I have been with this group for a couple

of years and think that I have had alot to contribute. I do not know

if I will stay or not.

I just wanted to let you know that from my end, this is done.

Prayers for all of the families in need.

This isn't actually to Dawn, it's to everyone involved in this HUGE ordeal.

I don't really post here, just read because we don't have an actual mito diagnosis yet. So, I don't usually have much knowledge to contribute. I do want to say that we are all grown ups here. We should all act that way. We should all be seasoned enough to be able to read someone's opinions, no matter what the subject, and either ignore it, or nicely state our opinions. As for me, I didn't agree with the very FIRST post about all this, so I deleted every message I got about it. No big deal. If you didn't want to get into an ordeal like this, you should've deleted the messages and not even paid any attention to them. I did read some of the messages, but even if I didn't agree, this isn't the place for my opinions on politics, so I kept them to myself.

Thank you Dawn for being a big person and apologizing for whatever went on. Let us all be big people. I know that I read lots of good information from everyone here. I would hate to lose that because of some stupid political discussion that got out of hand. This is why I HATE POLITICS and ELECTIONS!!!

I am a fairly new member and do not post that much (I do read and learn lots,

though). I just wanted to say that I hope no one leaves because of this

conflict. In a few days, this disagreement probably won't seem so important...

but we still will all have kids with special needs, and will still need the

advice

and support of others who are going through the same thing.

I also don't think it is productive to call eachother childish, or things like

that.

Every parent on this board is so brave, and has been through so much in this

tremendously difficult and terrifying journey. The people here all handle

incredible responsibilities and are truly amazing parents.

Everyone here comes from different perspectives, beleifs, and backgrounds.

We can't really expect everyone to get along all the time, or even like

eachother. But in the end we are all dealing with such similar things, and we

all have something to offer one another. That's what really brought us all

here in the first place.

:

You said it correctly. I personally like reading all the emails even knowing

it will be an issue with people because I am so fascinated with peoples thoughts

and ideas on a subject. Yes, some times I don't agree with them, but you

know what? I learn from them and they may open my eyes to something I hadn't

thought about. But you are right that we all come from different backgrounds,

etc and that is so unique, but....we all have something in common and that

is our children and their illness. So it looks like it has hopefully blown

over and we are back on track to smiles and eagerly reading emails and supporting

each other. With out this group I would be lost with things regarding Leah

even though she doesn't have the medical issues like a lot of children here.

But I learn things and tuck them in the back of my mind because some day

I may need that information.
