stressedmumto2 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 I don't get to post on here that often but I do read and I do learn a great deal form all of you and your experiences so thanks to everyone. You're all wonderfull dealing with what we have to deal with day in and day out and still loving your children continously. I never realised just how many of us have problems but since finding this site I realise I am fortunate to have what I have and I am grateful for that. <'> Since being a member of this forum there are 2 poeple who I want to thank from the bottom of my heart without them and all their advice I would have probably done something stupid but instead I am fighting for my children. Thanks to Phasmid for the message system and helping me so much, giving me valuable advice when dealing with so many issues and always answering my pm's, I guess at times I have prob been a pain,so sorry . Thanks Phas your one in a million. <'> And thanks to Helen53 who has been my rock, who always listens to me at the other end of the phone, who makes me laugh when I am crying but who tells me to cry some more,lol. Who has given her time and energy to me but most of all for having faith in me and giving me the strength to carry on. Hellen you are 1 in a billion and I just had to let you know that. Thankyou so much you are an inspiration and i hope one day I can be a friend and support someone the way you have supported me <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
helenl53 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 Thank you Tasha Today I was so proud of you. You came across as the intellegent articulate young woman that you really are and most of all - you held your head high in that room today and said " I am a good parent and I love my children and no more am I going to let anyone try and make me feel otherwise" Tasha I am very proud of you- I appreciate your thanks but you know that the only thanks I ask is that you 'pass it forward' Folks - this young lady sat in a room with 11 professionals, some of whom tried to make out that she was a cr*p mother and that her sons difficulties were down to her. Well, guys, today she calmly and firmly showed them that she was not a cr*p mother and that she deserved respect. She did this with a quiet dignity and I was privileged to witness it - and do you know - she is back in charge!!! Love HelenL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted May 12, 2006 I don't really know what to say to all that. It brought a tear to my eye. Well done Tasha, you sound like you showed them who's boss. Helen is a lovely kind lady, I have great respect and admiration for her and thats just what I know of her from the forum. As For Phas, he is also a truly kind and wonderful man and his wife is just as great. They helped me too when life was at a difficult stage. So I am adding my thanks.
