PipinJo

I'm sorry I misunderstood you, I had hoped . . . . . my mistake.

As you said earlier your friend said that there was no emotionhal involvement in her work. I couldn't do that, I do what I do in major paret precisely becasue there is emotional involvement, deep emotional involvement.

She and I are just different, she done what she does for 17 years and I've done what I do for 15 years.

However her responce is one of the two prime reasons we have never accepted or saught any form of respite which meant the kids being moved from their own home. For us, we simply don't think that's 'fair' to the kids and if we were unable to manage without it we would take that as indicating that the proper services are not being put in in the first place. In fact we had no respite of any kind before the kids were about 9 or 10. After that we used the respite budget to 'lighten our load' in other ways so we had more time and energy to spend with the kids.

I really didn't want to jump into this thread because I don't feel I can legitimately comment on looking after a child who is disabled

However, I feel compelled to comment on that picture in the middle - look at JH's body language as she's holding her daughter - that says more to me than any of the words of the article about how she feels about Immie. It is such a contrived image - she is almost tentatively holding her, as if she wants to keep her distance.

The people I feel most sorry for in all of this is her other 2 children - I just hope they can live up to their parents' expectations.
