Re: underwhelming family support

[Guest guest]

Becky,

Try to consider your families statements about how it has rounded out

to be confirmation that you got the job done. They will understand one

day (when I'm sure plagio will become a much more publisized and

understood subject since so many children have it now) and they will

thank you then (and problaby shudder when they realize how short a

timeframe there was to correct the problem and how lucky it was that

you seized the day).

You are supermom to have been able to give the kind of relentless

attention required to have repo success while taking care of two other

young children. I honestly don't know how you did it, and I only had

one other child when I tried to reposition my daughter for a short

time while waiting to get a band. Way to go.

Best Wishes,

Hi Becky

looks great, and it is all b/c of you. you have worked sooo

hard and now look at her again. ) I think most of our families

might think we are obsessive (mine included) My Mom just told me

yesterday that she knew everything would be ok. (tort and plagio)

nevermind our hard work. They don't understand. You have done a

great job, and will be thankful for it.

Becky,

Is it any wonder that so many parents feel alone during this time?

Between our families, and the medical community, there is not a lot

of support offered to us " over reacting " moms!

Kudos to you for sticking it out, going the extra mile without any

positive reinforcement!!!

Sorry You haven't gotten more support from your family. It's awesome

that you've been able to achieve such great results from repoing. I

really don't know how you repoers do it. You've put a lot of time and

energy into this and you should be proud of your accomplishment. Even

if the rest of the family isn't appreciative, I'm sure will be

very happy that you invested the time to reshape her head.

Great job Becky! You are such a great mom to take the time to repo

! I cannot imagine how hard it must be while you have other

children to take care of. I am so proud of you!

Becky,

Sorry your family isn't more supportive of your efforts. At least

you can take it as a compliment in that they do think it has

rounded, regardless of how it got like that . Maybe you should

tell your mom that you're dropping off for the next 24 hrs and

that she needs to be off her head for that whole time, lol, maybe

then you'd get the respect you deserve!

Becky,

I know how you feel, I didn't get any support from my family at all

(except for my husband.) They all just refused to believe what they

saw with their own eyes in the first place! I think it was out of

love for Remy, though, I think they were deeply afraid that her

headshape might never change, so they treated the situation as the

desired the world to treat it - as a non-issue, that would never

detract from all that was wonderful about her! Now that she's all

rounded out really well, they STILL don't acknowledge the agonizing

repo efforts that and I went through to get those results for

Remy. I mention my involvement here with the group a lot to them,

and I just get polite, half-interested replies. Oh well! I just

wanted to reply to let you know that I hear ya!

Take care,

Christie (Mom of Repo'd Remy)
