Not for the faint of heart, so delete if

you are. do not delete, you MUST read on. J

Okay, so now that you know it is NOT the

time to potty train her, STOP IT. Is that clear enough?

Permission granted.

She has serious gut issues, I am sure

you have gone through many formulas, and will undoubtedly go through

more. I know you know about gut bacteria, so would be preaching to the

choir.

Every special needs child is different,

has their own issues and time frames. Got three simple questions for ya.

Do you love her?

Will you do whatever it takes to keep

her happy and healthy?

Can you tell the rest of the world to

buzz off?

If all three are anything but yes, call

me, I will take her.

If all three are yes, then stop pissing

and moaning, stop killing yourself, stop trying to do something she is not

ready for or able to handle because you think it is what a good mother should

be doing, and get on with life. Potty training is not the end all be all,

it will not make your life perfect and wonderful, and magic dust does not fall

from the sky when you toss out the pull ups or pampers. Sorry to bust the

delusional bubble your wishing for. It is life, live it, love it and

endure it sometimes till ya get back to loving it.

You’re a good mom. You’re a tired

mom. You’re a mom who puts too much pressure on herself. Stop it

woman. Geeze.

Padded cells are lined with poopy

diapers. The super smelly gross ones. Did you not get the

memo? Good thing ya ask first.

Now ya know this is said with much

love.

Lord keep your arm around my shoulder, and your hand over

my mouth.

I

cannot potty train her. Every blow out diaper, every poopie mess leaves

me crying & sobbing uncontrollably and I know that cannot be good. To

add insult to injury, her poops are the grossest kind you can ever imagine with

the gut issues she has!

It

has been six years of 24 x7 diapering, and I do not think the mothers of

typical kids have any idea what that does to a person. I have tried

everything and now it just makes me wonder, is the yelling screaming and

punishment phase what will work? I hate to think that way, but I am at my

wits end and I feel like the padded cell is where I am headed next. At

least there I wont have to change diapers, right?

I

hate the way I feel and our home life is truly suffering.

Peace,
