Maz hun two things that I've thought about since reading your story and starting mine....

1) Often people don't understand the abuse, physical as well as emotional that we as parents of these super kids get. I don't think I would have understood it at all without living it. I'm not saying people can't sympathise with you, just that its hard to understand without having your child attack you physically....

2) The grieving for your child. Having to go through a grieving process in order to release the child you dreamed of, and be able to embrace the child you have.
