Re: Re: two sides of the coin

Betsy: Tori was diagnosed when she was 3.5 (she will be 12 in Feb)..and I

think this past September was the first time my immediate family (Sister,

BIL, etc) realized that all the " stories " I would tell them were real. My

family has always been very supportive, but I guess they could not phathom

that Tori could be a true to life CYBIL. Tori was still in her anxiety

overload condition when we visited and they saw EVERYTHING..and when we

left, my oldest daughter told me, " Ma, I think they just realized HOW BAD

things can get and wondered HOW we do what we do, day in and day out. "

Tori STILL has accidents and she could care less where. She actually peed

all over my BIL when we were there..and it didn't even phase her. What I

would suggest is to keep a diaper on when you go visiting...don't let

that stop you if that is your only concern.
