[quote=Anonymous]And yes, one of the things I am mourning is that we can't do our usual summer that we used to do. There is no way that this doesn't affect younger kid. (We simply can't go.) Of course it also affects DD, who has the chronic condition. It just stinks. I know thinking about fairness is pointless. Things happen, and then we have to go forward from there. FWIW, I know I said I was depressed in my first email but at least clinically, I am not. I have a therapist and have been evaluated thoroughly. Like DD's anxiety about social situations with her chronic and horrible condition, the psychiatrist told me the equivalent of "you have it tough, and you are appropriately sad about it." I don't write this to dismiss anyone's viewpoint but the knowledge may help keep the comments on target. Its a horrible situation. How can we live with it, the best possible way? That is the real question.. Therapists are fine but I think families who live with similar situations have real solutions, perhaps? When I talk to my therapist or when my DD talks to hers, we both come away with, "Person is great but actually has no clue what we live with on a day to day, hour to hour basis. No clue." [/quote]
