To everyone esp. Ladi
Hello everyone,
Thank you Dian 07 you are so very thoughtful. I did not feel under attack perse...ok maybe a little :-) but we are all entitled to our opinions and i understand that. In hinesight I can understand why emotions ran so high with my post. Looking back at it I wish i had been more tactful but there is nothing i can do now but to say that it was a poor choice of words and I am sorry but i was genuinly concerned. I just wanted to give you all some insight on why i flew to the other end of the spectrum. It was not done with an ounce of malice, or mean spirited. It was done out of concern. I have an aunt that works in child protective services 3 very close friends that are correctional officers. a brother that is a detective and a brother that is a police officer. Mother that is a nurse a father that is a hospital supervisor and i have worked in the medical profession as well. So needless to say i have been overexposed to the worse case scenerios. Not to mention a father that only by the Grace of God made it to adult hood alive becuase he had a bipolar, chemically inbalanced father that was not able to control himself. Granted that was over 40 years ago but his scars are still very visible phisically as well as emotionaly. So if i offended anyone i appoplogize.
As for me.. i am in remissoin and doing very well Thank God and thank you for asking. JG mom.. my son is doing great it was a hard decision putting him in assisted living but now i realize it was the best thing for him. he is doing things he would never do at home :-). (continued on next post)

...so you also added OCD to that list of challenges -- maybe it's time to call Genis : ).
I hope you find lots of interesting info, and good support here.
I've been feeling better, and starting to move on, so if I'm not around much I wanted you to know why (and that it definitely has nothing to do with you -- or CrazyL.) If something comes up and you feel like getting a hold of me, I'm borskyc at yahoo which is a dot com. Or anyone else I've been talking with! (It's not my usual account, so I don't sign in as often but it's the one I use for anything on the net, so that I don't collect spam.)
I do believe with all your experiences there is much I can learn from you!!
And on the sillier side, as as far as a dirty house goes, I can tell from first hand experience, that nothing much happens. I was never a clean freak, but once I got sick, really not much got done and it turned out -- not to matter.

I saw your first post yesterday and was pleased. I didn't respond because I wanted someone else to reach out first.....I knew they would, and they did!
This "Battalion" is filled with wonderful, caring, compassionate, intellegent, and strong willed women.....but, you already know that.
We are all equal...each with our own strengths, and weaknesses....we each bring something different to the table.....each as valuable as the other. In the same way; we have each had our own experiences to share.....in doing so, we are able to learn from eachother. There in lies the magic.
Your experiences and gifts add to the tapestry of lives being woven together in this "Battalion".
Peace.

Thanks only by the grace of God. My husband is a wonderful man. and my kids although trying at times are my special gifts. They kept me going on my worse days. I have to admit though when i was on treatment it saved my life in so many ways not just curing me phisicaly but also emotionaly, It cured me when i was too proud and stubborn to know that i was emotionally handicapped.. When you feel so sick you can't lift your head off the pillow you realize what is REALLY important. It put things in prospective.. life then became like a funnel. 1st thing that went in was God then my family and the rest was overrun. it is AMAIZING how much is overrun. Being a neat freak and a type a personality can be all consuming. I am better now but realize that dusting daily is not a must.. spending time with God, My family and friends that is a must. And I now set aside time a few times a week to feed my OCD ways doing that stuff when my kids are asleep and hubby is a work. or early in the morning so i can commit the rest of the day to my family.... I am so happy that you posted back ... I was beginning to feel a little alientated but a few of you ladies have reversed that and have been so warm, welcoming and unconditional. I so appreciate all of your imput you have a wonderful gift ... i can feel your warmth and sincerity miles away.
God bless you and hugs
God bless you and hugs
On a another note...So you have the same family connections as I've had - my sister is a crime victim's advocate in the area where we grew up, She's seen plenty. Her big thing has been to make sure her girls know their body is completely their domain.
If you've both managed to raise an autisic child, deal with cancer and keep a marriage anywhere near intact - I think you must have broken some kind of statistical record...

Hi Nic. I am really glad you came back on here. Anyway, I knew you had no malicious intentions and could read between the lines enough to know that you were speaking from personal experience. I hope you continue to stick around. Love, hugs and God bless. Barb
