[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 97216, member: 1233"] I am so sorry you have so much anxiety over malls, and other public places. I don't have this anxiety, but can be easily overwhelmed by sensory stuff in malls. I know it is only a fraction of what you feel. ((((HUG))) I once was a 19yo who was told she could not have children. Not should, just could. (HA! Never tell a short woman she CAN'T! - I have 3!) I was talking with my mom, saying at least I could be glad I wasn't passing the illnesses I had on. She asked if I thought SHE should not have had ME or my bro. I thought about it. I realized then that NONE of us have any control over what we pass on, and to whom. We can only do the best we can with the tools we have. And blame is a really dumb game to play. Takes too much time and energy. And our kids need all we can spare!!! What I am saying is that while he may be an image of you, this is not a bad thing. You are a wonderful and loving mom. So he has these problems you have. You have many years of experience on how to handle them and STILL have a life. Imagine what you could do if someone had been able to guide you through these issues from an early age? In my case, my mom got sick the same time I did. She didn't know she had health problems. I did know, but God decided that birth control was a joke and blessed me with 3 kids. I know we ALL go round and round with blame at different times. But we need to be kind to ourselves, and if we have similar problems as our kids, maybe this is a way we can help them. More (((((HUGS))))) Susie [/QUOTE]
