it only took my family about 10 years, but finally, most days, i think they finally get what you just described!

deb

you're not the first person i've heard describe how badly the death of a child can mess up a family psychologically, but still breaks my heart every time i hear such a thing.

Hi Deb
Like Trish, I was very upset to hear how you've been made to feel responsible for such a terrible tragedy that was not your fault. Grief can damage families so badly, if that is indeed the case here.

Not having your family's support when you and your son are both sick must be very hard to cope with.

I really feel for you, hon and hope you can find some of the much needed comfort and support you need right here

Deb, my god the harm we do to one another never ceases to amaze me. I am so sorry you have had to experience this. No child should ever be burdened with it. Never.

Hugs,

The story of the Little Red Hen was my FAVORITE childhood story that my momma would tell me....I would request it in least ONCE a week!

Call it the little libra in me ..I was always about fairness and a bit of a tiny Gloria Steinem [spelling?} since I was a wee one about fairness and womens rights...lol

Reading your post brought back many fond memories!
