[QUOTE="totoro, post: 81836, member: 3155"] I watched it and tried to think about it from the perspective of pre- K and N... I think I would have thought Horrible thoughts about the Mom and Dad in prison... I would have cried for the little girl. I would not have known enough to not think one sided about the interviews. All I had at that time was, my Mom's suicide... her brother's slow drug death. My 2 step- Aunts suicides, one in and out of an institution... A life filled with mentall illness and no help. Not once did anyone ever try to help of us... So now I watch and I am happy they are talking about it somewhat, yet the side of me that knows all the truth's can't help but think like all of you, what about the other sides, the pain, the anger, violence, trauma,fears. What about the good times? What about the fact that when you really have a special needs child there is no doubt??? Maybe getting the diagnosis correct is hard... I just wish for once they would show a family like ours... a CD family. One that is intelligant and has fought and is getting help and things are not perfect, but we are trying... They had the woman in the middle that seemed like "us" but of course short interview. I agree, the Mom in prison seemed ignorant, medicated, depressed... she needed help. The whole system failed her and her family. But at what point do you stop and ask questions and say I need help and this doesn't feel right??? I struggle with these questions alot as I watch K have adverse reactions... I cry, and call the psychiatrist and document everything... we are all they have. Like MWM I need medications as does my husband or I am not together... I need to get mine checked as a matter of fact. I am greatful for this site. husband said last night after the show that unfortunatley the ladies and men on CD are not the norm... he said we are a bit type A and obsessive!!! LOL He said we are much smarter than most when it comes to G'sFG!!! [/QUOTE]
