HOW DO I COPE WITH PEOPLE CONSTANTLY TELLING ME THAT THE DRS ARE LIEN ABOUT MY DAUGHTERS HEALTH PROBLEMS N DIAGNOSE. ITS JUST BECOMES TO STRESS FULL THAT I FEEL LIKE IM GONNA HAVE A MENTAL BREAK DOWN. IM TRYING TO DO THE BEST I CAN BY KEEPING EVERYBODY IN THE LOOP. I DONT LIKE THE FACT OF PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY, BUT WHEN THEY CONSTANTLY SAY DONT PLAY INTO THE WHOLE DS THING ITS NOTHING BIG. ALSO TELLING ME NOT TO GET INVOLVED & MY DAUGHTER SHOULDN'T REALLY HANG WITH THEM KIDS LIKE SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME THING.

Keela's gorgeous!
I usually go on and on about stuff like this, but right now all I'm gonna say is:
You're a Mom. DS or no DS, you're gonna do the best you can for your daughter, no matter what anyone says. Everything else I'd say boils down to that.

Don't bother keeping them in the loop, keep us in the loop instead, we are a much more rewarding bunch to share with Wink

And, we understand!

You can't change your family, so, just don't frustrate yourself by bothering with their opinions.

Keela certainly is gorgeous!!! My hubby's family are a bit that way. They aren't in denial but they don't really relate to Talitha very well. I don't really keep them in the loop - just update them occasionally when we see them. My parents are supportive and interested so I keep them informed.

hi

my husbands family are in denial so I tell them nothing and they dont bother asking but my parents are very interested and want to know about every little sneeze Laughing

so I tell them everything.

All this sticking your head in the sand nonsense doesnt wash with me our kids have DS like it or not and we are the ones living the reality everyone else can be a part or not be a part its their choice.

your little girl is so beautiful I love her hair xx
