Way OT I as a mom find nothing but support and kindness in this group.

[Guest guest]

I tell my kids being a mom is the best gig in the world. It is not for the faint of heart. Sometimes you are overwhelmed, make some bad calls, just can't bring yourself to face the reality of the situation or it goes right over your head. As a child that ends up suffering for whatever reason, maybe prolonged sickness, maybe heartache, maybe no hard feelings, each child/adult is entitled to their feelings. Feeling don't have to make sense. They just are and then you try to make sense of all of it. No apologies needed from Thane to me. I

I see a kid who suffered a lot, some bad calls were made, Thane is suffering now and for a long time from Lyme. I wish my parents could have seen some of the things they missed. Not bad people, just didn't see the whole picture. I think everyone has some things they wish or would like to not see others go through. I admire the people that spare their kids some of the misery I went through. Not Lyme, just the usual growing up stuff, etc. You suffer, but you are turning your suffering into facts, links, and moderating a rather large group to help those suffer who suffer as you do. What's more you do it with kindness. I think some people start out with the best of intentions as moderators then something snaps in them and the next thing they are MiniMusselini's, dictating every facet of the group, to where it become Their way or the Highway.

Thane you are just to sweet. I bet your mama loves you to pieces and is heartbroken to see you suffer so. Assuming a lot, but I think most parents die a thousand deaths when their kids suffer. I have sat in many hospitals and it doesn't really matter they why of it, brain injury from someone not watching, born that way, doctors caused it, whatever, it just tears the family up. I think it is especially hard when the disease is passed. Extra guilt. I bet the moms that pass Lyme to babies must feel so sad. I was once in a serious auto accident. I was fairly certain it wasn't my fault but then again there I am lying in the hospital and my daughter is on life support, airlifted. I felt so bad for so long and it turned out it wasn't my fault, some unlicensed kid ran the light in excess of 65 miles per hour. Nonetheless you sure feel bad seeing all the suffering that came about with your hands on the wheel. My daughter lived but many aren't so fortunate. Guilt seems to rear it's head forever, and sometimes when you least suspect it will.
