Guest guest Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Heidi it is so very good to hear from you and to hear that you have been getting the help you needed! Such a good message to remind us all of, that you have to look after yourself first if you are going to be able to look after anyone else. So glad to hear that Sam is doing better too! You've both had a really tough go, but somehow survived and are here to tell the tale. It will be great to have you back to share again. Many hugs to you!!!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Heidi, soooo good to hear from you! Thanks for updating us on how you and Sam are doing! And so glad you are taking care of YOU too, we all need to do that, see to our own needs too. We forget that as parents sometimes, too busy seeing to our children and their needs, especially when OCD is involved daily with a child. Hope you " poke your head " in here some more, when you can, and continue to let us know how you and Sam are each doing. Glad your parents are able to care for him during this time, to help you and him out! Take care, > > Hi All, > I haven't been on here in a long while, but I wanted to say hi.
