Skippy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi Lynz I have tears in my eyes reading your story. What a fantastically brave and wonderful daughter you have - she should be nominated for a bravery award. So sorry that you found yourself in this situation and that your daughter had to go through it, but you are among friends and people who know what you're going through. I hope we can give you the support and comfort that you need. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Lynz What a little star you have there. She obviously gets her compassion from her mum. I totally agree with you, its definitely a lot better talking to people who have the same experience rather than some one who has been trained to listen. My counsellor was a bonus cos he'd suffered head trauma through a motorbike accident so he fully understood where I was coming from..
