God does not give us more than we can.....
Quote From: utahgirl79 I agree that it is sad that Nichelle's daughter has been living with this kind of treatment for who knows how long. I am sorry that Nichelle's daughter has the condition that she does and it must be hard for Nichelle to swallow at times. I am a firm believer that GOD DOES NOT GIVE US MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE. I believe that Nichelle has the smarts, the patience, the know how some where in her to handle this situation very well. I just think that she has, unfortunately, resorted to letting the frustration she must feel get the best of her. I hope that this trip to Dr. Phil's show has opened her eyes to the damage that she has done to her daughter. I also hope that she took away from being on the show a desire to educate herself more on the condition her daughter has and to make the best of life for her and her kids. I think that adoption would only cause more pain and tumoil in both of their lives. It's a wonderful blessing that there is still a chance for Nichelle and her daughter to make up for time lost. If Nichelle decides to seek the proper help and support that they could both benefit from I do believe that they will both be a lot happier when all is said and done. I just hope that the abuse...no matter what form...is at it's definet end. There is never any reason for it!!!! EVER!!!!!!! I, too, believe that God will not give us more than we can handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much. ; ) There are as many ways of caring for PWS children as there are humans on this planet. I watched my in-laws deal with my brother-in-law with PWS until he died of heart disease in his 40's, & it was heart breaking. Don't get me wrong. They had the patience of saints. It was just so heart breaking to watch them care for him day in and day out. They never had a moments rest. They also had another son with Cerebral Palsy who wasn't able to attend school. Unfortunately, my father-in-law died at 51, leaving my 46 year old mother-in-law at home to care for both sons by herself. When her PWS son died in his mid 40's, she only lived another 5 years. At 51 their CP son is still alive (although he looks like a 15 year old) & is living with his 50 year old healthy brother. I just wish there could have been something I could do to ease their burden, but they were a proud family, and didn't want any help from "outsiders". As the ex-wife of their other healthy brother (who they were ashamed of for leaving me & our sons for the proverbial other woman), they wouldn't even consider letting me help when their own son was emotionally unavailable for his own flesh & blood. I can only hope that this family will find some kind of happiness for the rest of their lives. Good luck Nichelle. God bless you & your family.
