I really appreciate your honesty--to be able to admit that you (and all of us) have these emotions is so important!

I've been getting caught up with your story this morning.<br /><br />Secondly (and relevantly), Schuyler is nine years old. She is coming up on the six year anniversary of her diagnosis. That's plenty of time for me to get past my jealousy issues with other people's neurotypical kids, and with parents who complain that their kids talk all the time, etc.<br /><br />But no, I am not one bit over those issues. I've stopped worrying about what my reaction says about me as a person, because for better or for worse, it's who I am. The thing I've learned in talking to other parents, however? It's a near-universal reaction.Robert Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462451435441751837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313133981500102570.post-69914719574141204852009-04-16T08:28:00.000-07:002009-04-16T08:28:00.000-07:00I can relate to you all, esp.

They are putting him in speech therapy. I am so sick of people saying, "That child should be talking". Screw you! He will talk when he is ready. He just needs some help.<br /><br />CherylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313133981500102570.post-75364534985812291292009-04-16T06:25:00.000-07:002009-04-16T06:25:00.000-07:00i think it is perfectly normal and ok for you to f...i think it is perfectly normal and ok for you to feel the way you feel...of course my telling you that doesn't help you feel any differently i'm sure.<br /><br />when parker burned himself, he was with a friend, they were both horsing around but my son was the one who was in the burn unit fighting for his life, the other boy was untouched..i remember for a brief period wondering "why my son? why couldn't it have been the other boy and mine be the one ok?" i felt HORRIBLE for thinking that, even momentarily but it happens..<br /><br />i think you will find more people understand than you would imagine..<br /><br />mucho hugsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313133981500102570.post-3960404541140428212009-04-15T15:30:00.000-07:002009-04-15T15:30:00.000-07:00you want to start a club? 12 step group?

I am a SAHM so I...i am so on the same level as you. I am a SAHM so I don't get to see what a "normal" 2 year old sounds like often. Well when my friend brought her 2yo nephew over i was hart broken. my son was nowhere near near him. he could say anything and everything. I was mad, sad and jealous. I have known him now for about 3 months and it still hurts to see them side by side but it is getting easier as time passes.cokaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776175366745159002noreply@blogger.com
