Quote From: maryc8I can understand how it may be frustrating and tiring for some people that have a child with disabilities. In my own experience, I am a single mother of three children. I myself, have M.S. and my youngest child, Joshua has 2 disabilities. He is 5 years old. He does not walk, talk, eat by mouth, and is blind in 1 eye.He is in diapers also. Even though he may not be able to all of these things yet, he makes little steps every day it seems and is a lot smarter than people know. I would not change for 1 second, not to be his mother. He is a blessing in my life. Yes, it may not be easy at times, but there are always ways of coping with things. I really think that we who have children like this, it only makes us better, stronger people and more able to appreciate life. We learn from them. You are not alone with how you feel. I wish you the best. Take care.

I watched the show tuesday and i was soo outradeged at those so called parents. I am a mother of 2 a single mother at that , my oldest son has Autisum,cp,epilepsy,developmentmenatl delay, ocd, and hypertention,loss of hearing and sight, non verbal, not potty trained and alot more things going on, and my other son is sever ADHD. and not ONCE HAVE I EVER SAID I WISH THE DOCTOR'S WOULD HAVE TOLD ME. you know what they did not ask to be this way. Do you ever stop and think how they are feeling and thinking? what are they thinking, do they think like us, do they feel like us? IT IS ABOUT THE CHILD(REN).
Just remember everytime you loss your patients,say something act a certain way or react a way in front of that child they WILL remember that even though they can not communicat that to you. When i heard that little boy say MEAN, to me thats says someone was mean to him and he know what thats means .Maybe the CPS should be looking into that house hold or at the mother , does she know there are many resourse's out thier to help her? she needs help... there is Respite help homecare help all kinds of things that can help her. she also needs to seek professional care herself. to learn how to filter her stress, I can tell by looking at her she has no patients. like she just gave up and that child feels every bit of it. and that is why he is acting out that way, that is the only way he knows he will get the attention he craves. Again any parent out there in situations like this Please get help from the community. Thats is what they are there for, and it is nothing to be ashamed of.
yours truley
