Family In Tasmania

[Guest guest]

Pam,

I don't blame you a bit for not saying anything. There's a time and place

for everything and that sounded like it wasn't the right time for bringing

this up. Sounds like you do a great job of interacting with parents

otherwise. I was really looking for other's experiences, prospectives. Ever

since I had that strange reaction to my noticing another families child(and

I didn't even say anything at the shower...it was after the fact) it has

made me more hesitant. I keep telling myself, " well at least he has a

diagnosis now and someday his parents will deal with it and maybe even be

glad I noticed him and he was able to get proper help " .
