~ Writing my own happy ending. A blog containing reflections, thoughts, and observations of a single, middle-aged woman ~
We all have to take the bad with the good. Cam will go far with the good he inherited from you. There is no perfect world. Perhaps you should celebrate the positives. Don't let the negatives drag you down.
But you know what? You wouldn't understand each other if things weren't the way they are.
we're doomed, but I don't want too (said in my best whiny voice) *stomps feet and throws a tantrum*Gina, that is an EXCELLENT point. Imagine the frustration of raising a child whose issues were foreign.
Pfffft...Just like you, me, and the rest of the world, Cam is just different. That's one of the things that makes life worth living. Cheers Dana!!
It's always so easy to see the negative, and forget about all of the positives.For now, just revel in the fact that this young man you're raising has more in common with you than anyone else!
There are 'billions of versions of normal'.
Matt-Man, You are correct! I just hope he finds his way soon!Jormengrund, that he does ...Mike. how dare you call him "normal" :)
This one is close to my heart. I have struggled with depression for most of my life and my children's father (hubby) has too as well as ADD. My children are screwed. :( The upside is that you know what to look for and how to help them get help.
A - you can NOT take responsibility for how Cam's genes turned out. B - You understand Cam's position, and you are in the best position to help. You are doing a fantastic job.
I got a 23. But I have other genetic disorders my children may or may not inherit (MS, blood clotting problems, etc.) We all have our "things".
