[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the mother of a child with SN and I am absolutely appalled by many of these posters.  Why are people screaming at OP that her DD is fat?  She knows this, she's written this.  Are you concerned that she doesn't feel enough shame?  And who are you to judge who should post here.  OP's DD has a medical condition.  parents post about that sort of thing here all the time.

I'm ashamed, actually.  The SN board used to be supportive.[/quote]

Another mother of kids with SNs here.  I, too, am appalled at by many of the posts here - which I suspect are mostly from non-SN parents.  The OP's child certainly has a challenge and I welcome her posts here.  I'm sorry she hasn't found the support so many of us do on this forum.  I'm seeing a lot of similarities between OP's experiences and my own, especially the unnecessary, uninformed judgments of the ignorant.  It doesn't matter what OP and her DD have done in the past, they are moving on and making the best choices they can in the present.  They are both to be applauded.  Some days will be easier and more successful than others but through their efforts, they will be successful and get to where they need to be.  That's exciting and praiseworthy.

OP, as some PPs noted, you should contact the hospital ombudsman or patient advocate.  The treatment you received was appalling and counterproductive.  The ombudsman/advocate should address this with the staff so no one else is subjected to it.  That's not the way care should be provided.  Good luck and congratulations to you and your DD for all your hard work.[/quote]
