So, maybe on her level, you sending your son away is the same to her as her sending her pet away.<br />Also, at least she's not condemning your choice for your son. My DD1 has been in RTC since June, and there prob til Christmas. Was there last year from Oct-Jan. Many people somehow blame us for getting our daughter the help she needs (sometimes, however, we lose to the insurance company, hence the discharge in Jan when she wasn't ready). Some just can't understand that home isn't always the best place to be for a child.<br />Maybe you have helped open a door for this woman to understand something outside her protected little world.Tenntracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406743794623903991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157104600842146194.post-63149544856200122192010-08-26T20:59:58.389-07:002010-08-26T20:59:58.389-07:00Ew, ew, ew....I absolutely despise it when people ...Ew, ew, ew....I absolutely despise it when people equate feelings/experiences for/with animals to those with atual people in general.<br /><br />And this? This is just stupid.

A good fit into a family is exactly what all of us adoptive parents dream of... maybe she was empathizing with the hurt & loss when you want something so bad but it wasnt meant to be.. on some level she may understand your sadness & situation but wasnt able to articultae it properly... on the other hand my staff had to pull me off of a client who looked down her nose & sneered at me...<br />"I heard you bought a kid in Russia.".... um ya... sign me Mary Sunshine who still begs & wants to believe the rule is really closer to 70-30!! hugs..RainyJust.
