Parents, we are failing our children.
“No one could explain to me how my seemingly perfect 15-year-old daughter was now suddenly having seizures. I was angry. I was desperate.”
“I hugged her and with my head on her shoulder said, ‘Yes, mom. I am. I love you. I promise I WILL get better.’ They shut the door and told me I was no longer welcome. They did the best thing a family could’ve done. Let me fall face first and weren’t there to catch me. I was a good person with a big heart. I did good deeds for my family, friends, and community. But I was also an addict. And addiction doesn’t discriminate.”
“The food was eaten and gone that day, but the impact this had will last a lifetime.”
“On roller coasters, everyone is allowed to stim.”
Our children’s “misbehaviors” are symptoms of a much deeper problem that can’t be ignored any longer.
“I simply wrote, ‘This little girl needs her brother or sister. Can anyone help?’ And you know what? Someone replied.”
“I have grown up and gone to school my whole life with people who basically look like me, think like me and believe the same things I believe, and that’s not the real world.”
“It seemed like more than just a coincidence. It was fate saying, ‘Here is someone who knows how you are feeling.'”
“A few days later, at 5:00 a.m., my phone was buzzing. I turned over in bed and saw my mom was calling. At that moment, I knew exactly what it was.”
