I'm angry for you! I admire you and everything you do for your sons. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.<br /><br />About the grocery store...a few months ago, I accidentally gave a woman the "stink-eye" for picking up items willy-nilly and happily putting them in her cart. She caught me. It's funny now, but I felt really horrible at the time that I didn't even realize I was looking at her like that. That was an ugly jealousy moment.

Oh how I know these feelings. I watch people in stores picking up anything they want from the shelves while I shop a few areas and have to read every single label, even on things I normally buy because they might have changed. <br /><br />Oh, and the fight! I not only think vaccines cause my older son's problems, long story there I will share one day, but one set of vaccines (the set I think is the culprit) was given to my younger son withot my knowledge by someone that knew we weren't going to give them to him. Talk about a desire to fight. I am still working on forgiving this person. I will, it's just hard right now. Maybe it's the hours of screaming each day, the horrible and multiple nasty poops, the inability to sleep, and so on that I deal with that make it so I haven't dealt with that issue fully. <br /><br />I am really starting to come into a deeper walk with my Savior. I need it and realize that starving myself from Him was the worst thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404973603185131240.post-3445998785714820132011-03-07T10:30:41.066-08:002011-03-07T10:30:41.066-08:00I understand this all too well.

Just rest in the fact that you do right when you know right. He's made a ton of progress---and who does he have to thank for that? You! And I'm sure the support of Erik and other family/friends. But still, I see how devoted you are! And you certainly aren't a slacker :-) Hugs to you my friend!The Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07088613315793599726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404973603185131240.post-86844007904581190052011-03-06T19:50:17.596-08:002011-03-06T19:50:17.596-08:00(((HUGS)))(((HUGS)))Traci Leadstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09783492469546710433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404973603185131240.post-12368522710334078462011-03-06T18:45:41.290-08:002011-03-06T18:45:41.290-08:00Very good post, I go through the same emotions reg...Very good post, I go through the same emotions regarding the vaccines, the doctors, etc. In a way I think it helps to accept it as a natural "mother bear" response. Wouldn't a mother bear "attack" if one of her cubs were injured? You make a good point and it is a reminder to me as well to stay focused on what is important. No, we cannot change the past. But try to remember your feelings are so natural! It is instinctive! Don't beat yourself up for your God-given instincts to protect your children! It is ok to feel angry, but make sure it does not consume you. That is when it becomes pathogenic and then they have got you again! Believe me, I tell myself this as much as I tell you! This is no easy road...Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04538102987486520341noreply@blogger.com
