[quote=Anonymous]op: Thank you for all your kind words.  My mom is a good person, and it's true that I have to work through my PTSD.  Another thing I didn't mention, though, was that my son has another disease called Hirschsprung's which required an operation to remove 2/3 of his large intestine as a newborn.  He came home from the hospital but stopped nursing at 4 days.  My mom got my dh and my dad to sit around the table mocking me for being so neurotic.  He was my third baby, I took him to ER and he was admitted.  So I already had PTSD (which included my mom's behavior) before the epilepsy developed when he was 3.  I know my mom couldn't have guessed he'd have a rare disease.  But she shouldn't have made fun of me.  It was nice of her to come for the birth and to help with my girls at the time.  I'm not angry at her anymore, I think.  But I'm still very angry at my dad for telling her not to help me during the epilepsy crisis, which lasted four months.  My dad was very selfish.  He said we should put my son in a home, because he wanted his wife to come back and have the whole thing be over with.[/quote]
