Hi Nichelle, 

   I was able to see that you are from Michigan I just moved from their to Idaho. I want you to know their is a lot of services their for children with disablities. I also want you to know that my son who has cp and mental retardation. Is a joy to me and has taught me many life lessons. If I had it to do over again I wouldnt change a thing. If you need help with services in the Michigan area let me know. I will do my best to help you. I feel like not only are you struggling with your children, but might also be struggling with some of your own issues as well. So good luck in your theraphy and stick it out. It does work if you use what is recommended.

I am sorry if my words upset you.  You need to understand that just because you feel that your situation is "the way PWS IS" does not make it so.  Your situation is tough, no question, but the way you have chosen as the adult to deal with it is abusive and wrong.  All I am saying is that there are many, many PWS families out there that deal with the situation without abusing their child.  It is NOT easy for them either, single or not and many of them are. 

The only reason we are concerned is because your kids need you to be the grownup and handle the situations responsibly and our children with PWS do NOT need PWS to be portrayed by a family that is totally out of control when we spend every waking minute trying to handle our indidividual situations with maturity and control.

I am sorry, but you are NOT the right person to portray the "typical" PWS family at this time.  I do think that you can be and hopefully with Dr. PHil's help you to be an in control adult when dealing with your own situation.

As one PWS mom to another, I applaud you for getting help and wish you the BEST of LUCK with learning to control your temper and anger.
