I am an executive director for a mental health non-profit in Michogan.

Please see below for a list of things I have been through or an knowledgable about if you need to talk!

I have an 8 year old son who was born with a birth defect, a 7 year old step daughter with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum disorder and a 6 year old son with minor hearing loss. Hubby and I are having baby number 4 in April.

Need to talk?
Here are things I can relate to:
-step parenting
-step parent adoption
-fetal alcohol spect...

I think the worst possible day to find out your baby stopped growing is national pregnancy and infant loss awarness day.
so it figures it would f---ing happen to me.
sobbing for 6 hours straight.

omg. so my SD has fetal alcohol syndrome and reactive attachment disorder. Courts allow bio mom 2, 24 hour visits a month.
so labor day weekend she got a DUI at 4 am when she was suppose to pick up SD at 9 am. She refused breathalyzer so we have been waiting for blood results/arraignment. Just found out her BAC was .24. freaking 4 times the legal limit. what. the. hell.
had to rant and don't want to whine on facebook.
