[QUOTE="Steely, post: 15547, member: 3301"] Wow, Isabel, your email just caused me a torrent of tears as I could so relate to the deep pain and self blame you are experiencing. I could say how sorry I am, and how it will get better, but I am not sure if that is helpful when we are where you are. The pain is just so deep, and as Fran mentioned, this kind of pain for mothers causes us to not only be grieved but also feel as if we need to fix the problem . When we cannot fix it, then we turn to ourselves as the problem, because it seems more tangible. The only advice I can offer is hope...to not believe every test result as a fact, but only an opinion, a possiblity of what is to come, but not a sure fire thing. When I was 16 the doctors diagnosed me as schizophrenic and told my parents I would not live past the age of 21 without many attempts of suicide. They were wrong....very very wrong...nothing they said came to fruition. I always hold that in the palm of my hand when doctors conclude things about my difficult child - they are only guesses, not absolutes - and anyone of us can overcome even the worst obstacles placed in front of us. So here is to hope....and believing....despite the odds. [/QUOTE]
