[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 756234, member: 4152"] Did you tell her any specifics? She might think you are placating her. I have a bad retina problem in my left eye. I absolutely can not read in my left eye. So, I rely on my right eye. The other day i told someone in passing I had a problem with my left eye and she told me of an issue with her readers from the drug store. The bottom line is she felt she was being empathetic. But, she didn’t have all the information. And I suppose I may have not either. It felt strange. Like two shippings passing. No connection. She was attempting to make one with me, but it didn’t work out. so, maybe this lady spilled the beans with you and hasn’t heard of anything significant happening with your child and so when you said you do have problems and you do understand, she thought you were just trying to be nice (empathetic) and truly couldn’t possibly understand. On the other hand, IF she had listened carefully to you...perhaps she would of picked up that a parent is not likely to lie about such difficulties as they tend to be very painful. Or she can’t understand that you made a decision to move forward even with such great difficulties. By the way...this is also reminiscent in a certain way of me and my health issues. People can’t believe I have quite a few. It’s a long story. [/QUOTE]
