I believe that with the right therapy, the right meds and the right kind of support, a person can actually feel better and in general do better. The only reason I agreed to put myself on meds is because I had to realize that I wasn't able to be an effective parent until I felt better. Our kids learn from us. they also learn their denial patterns from us. I'm trying to teach my son that it's ok to accept who you are for you because it's what makes us one of a kind, flaws and strengths and all.... sometimes our flaws are our biggest strengths and what we believe our biggest strengths are really the flaws we don't allow ourselves to see. Ahh well, I've rambled on enough.... There are a *lot* of people who are hit with enough life stresses that their neurochemistry gets realigned. This generation is described as the highest stressed generation ever, based on quite a number of different evaluation techniques. It all started with electricity.... Anyway. I applaud you for doing what you need to do to be as healthy as you can, for both yourself and your kids. I've done the same - we had a multi year run of truly nasty things happen in this family, and I too have taken antidepressants. It's like any other medication: inappropriate if it's not necessary or if it's for a misdiagnosed condition, and extremely helpful if it's properly applied. People have a fixation on neurochemistry. People who think nothing of taking insuliin for faulty pancreatic chemistry, somehow think that taking antidepressants for faulty neurochemistry is some kind of indication of a weak or flawed or faulty human being. I know that my daughter, who has been through severe post traumatic stress disorder, really took her own meds seriously when she saw that I took my health seriously as well. So more power to you, and good luck with it all. Cele |

Been there done that but I do admit it took me nearly hitting rock bottom to finally fill the prescription. Whoa it was a rough year, sooo glad it's over. Christine |

Has your son got to that age yet? He's old enough that I respect him enough not to discuss that here : ) Joelle The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page - St Augustine Joelle |

Christine I believe Dennis is referring to puberty. The age differs for each child. Betsy Doesn't masturbation start at a younger age though? That's why I'm asking, I have no idea about some of these things. I mean just last weekend my son was kicked in the balls and the pain seemed to go away. Then the next night he complained of it really hurting. So I asked some friends about it because geez I don't know and I didn't want to go to the doctor if it was just a normal post-sacking dilemma. So my Dad said check to see if he's swollen.... well thankfully I have twins so a quick look at them both showed that yes indeedy things were um not quite right. They'll have to learn to guard their bits a bit more in the future. Christine |

He became DAD when my son was 15 months old and he accepted US. Yes, he IS STEP DAD. -- No Sly she does not have a clue... I do though , I understand 100%. My daughters had a step mom, from the time the oldest was 5 1/2 and the youngest she was 6 months old, would we have married over 20 years ago probably, but we were denied that right. What do I feel about the paperwork now F%$# it, means nothing what we had was more than any piece of paper could give us. Our vows were etched within our hearts . Stay strong let it roll off it doesn't matter if there are people so shallow that they don't get it. Take care Bev Pack yer bags Bev,,,,,,you can get married up here! There was even the first same sex divorce. We Canadians are selective in the kind of history we make Lisa |
