Quote From: cleeeeI thought Dr. Phil was very hard on you. It's all well and good that other families are able to tolerante and cope with a child with a disorder such as this. The fact of the matter is not everyone is wired the same way. There are people who simply cannot cope with certain situations. That does not make you a bad person. You are a good person for seeking help in dealing with your daughter's disorder.
I hope you are able to come to terms with your daughter's PWS.
Hard on her? She's lucky that Dr. Phil didn't call the authorities! I know being a parent of a child with special needs is difficult. I am the parent of 2 children, one with special needs. I am also an elementary teacher. I'm very sorry that Savannah isn't the perfect child you had hoped for but do not blame her! She doesn't want to be like this either. I pray that you have made a drastic change in your behavior towards your daughter. Or I hope she has been placed with a family that will cherish the child that she is. What you have been doing is so abusive. I give you credit for asking for help although how sad to hear the words you called her. Do you really think a child with mild mental disability can tell the difference between, "are you an idiot?" and "you are an idiot!"
