[QUOTE="slsh, post: 546662, member: 8"] Oh, hon - this was genius! :winking: Seriously, though - I'm so sorry that you had this come at you from a "friend." It has never ceased to amaze me the things that come out of people's mouths, and the reactions to various disabilities. Development of rhino skin is essential to parenting a kid with differences. I know it's so hurtful to hear this kind of junk, but..... some people just aren't going to get it - parents, friends, family, and total strangers. on the other hand, sometimes you will be surprised by the unexpected people who *do* get it. I'm absolutely incensed any parent would label another child a "freak." Are you kidding me? It just burns my toast that a parent would encourage that kind of intolerance. At the same time, I feel sorry for these kinds of people, because one never knows when fate or karma or just plain old bad luck may strike and their "perfect" lives may become somewhat less than perfect - they are so unprepared for differences. Glad difficult child is handling it okay. Sometimes people just really inhale rapidly. [/QUOTE]
