Okay, here is a reason why I thought of blogging. Sometimes you just want to pour your thoughts and be done with it. So when I have these up days and down days I can just come here download everything.
For a longtime I have been wanting to tell the world that the struggle my son and I have been going through.
Whether to reveal to the world that he is an individual with special needs, if I do that will my friends and his label him forever ?
Recently I visited my family, one of his aunt was talking to me thinking that she was consoling me. She said that there are kids who are mentally retarded and not able to even button up their pants, blah blah...comparing a child who has lot more shortcomings than my child. She says I need to accept him the way he is, while she and her husband are working real hard to raise their well rounded smart child to score big !!
Hypocrisy...big time !!
She goes and tells my husband that I am not facing reality and am blindfold. The guy sits and listens to whatever she had to say !! Since the family knows his needs they have already labeled him. It really saddens me.
I wish there was a crystal ball that would tell me how his future is going to be.
I as a child was pretty much like him and did give my mother sleepless nights for years. But today I have a decent job and am raising a family, so I guess he will just fine too.
