[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 623570, member: 17461"] Oh, Echo! How hard this must have been for your son to hear. My heart aches and rages for every one of us who has been labeled with these strange sounding, terrifying "nature of the disease of this living being" instead of our own names, instead of being known for who we are in our hearts. You were so brave, Echo, to speak those true words to your child, to stand for him and comfort him through what must have felt like an assault. I am sorry for your pain, Echo. Pain for ourselves that this happened, at all, and oh, to hear the pain in the acceptance of it for our child.... I have been talking with difficult child daughter about the changed way she is perceived, now that she has psychiatric diagnosis labels affixed to her name, glaring out at her through her medical record forever. She isn't anything anymore, Echo. A series of diagnoses, a person to be judged and found wanting. difficult child daughter was told by a nurse practitioner that if she didn't want to have brain damage, why then, she shouldn't let people hit her in the head. This actually happened. I can't even believe it. I am going to find some interesting new information regarding this whole psychiatric diagnosis thing. I will be back. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
