Re: Anybody else's child / To Momtotwokids

[Guest guest]

Thanks! I confess I am feeling so overwhelmed I finally made an appt

tomorrow for family therapy. I am getting so stressed out over

helping him that I cannot even relax to enjoy an hour to myself -

during the whole time I am obsessing that I could be using that hour

to 'find a cure'. The focus of the therapy will be to help redirect

my husband and me on what is helpful for our family and our nt son

who is being ignored right now. I find that instead of getting down

and playing with them, I am frantically searching the internet all

day long.

You are right about there not being professional guidance. I need

for my son a team of doctors who are all bent on helping him. Why am

I, an ex-programmer now SAHM with a 'useful - ha ha' degree like a BS

in psychology, now responsible for the complete medical health of my

child? Can you believe I actually had a nurse tell me a couple of

weeks ago that my son's diarrhea and every 2-3 day poops were

normal? I'd like to sue over this, and I am not the kind of person

who likes to sue.
