gardenmom5 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'm on a support group for a genetic issue. people on their blame EVERYTHING on this genetic issue, or whatever else in their life. and the anti-vaxxers are taking over the site (after reading that the guy WASN'T against vaxs - and had a patent for three individual vax, he had a lot of motivation for lying about his findings of 12 patients) - I'm reaching the point I'll probably quit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 One time this other homeschool mom I know sort of pulled me aside and whispered, as if it was some sort of dirty secret, "Farrar, I just don't think diet is the cause of every little thing." I was like, yeah, seriously. 6 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Ugh, that is frustrating! I have to avoid certain people when I talk about my kids' issues, but it's not that bad. While my younger son's genetic issue is very serious and not cool, I am super glad that it's managed by undeniably solid medical science. Sadly, there is still an incredibly high amount of ignorance about the disorder, how it presents, etc. among medical practitioners (who think that rare means, "I'll never meet someone with this condition" and then stop looking), but it's indisputable that medical intervention (some of which has only been possible in the last 20 years or less) saves lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I think it’s like that with most things. Which is why we avoid support groups. Our kids are all adopted, and every little problem we may have, some people like to say, “well, that sounds like an adoption issue....” Grrrr!? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the kids is just being a turd because they are just being a kid. Now, I firmly believe in some trauma issues, attachment stuff, etc but sometimes kids are just plain being a turd like any other kid their age is. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obnoxious, isn’t it? yes, very. things that are completely unrelated . . . now someone has posted something claiming there are pesticides in tampons to make you bleed more. for pete's sake . . . . they don't want to hear many women bleed more when they go through perimenopause - becasue of "hormones".

TravelingChris Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I am on a few support groups on facebook and one on email but they are well regulated by the moderaters and while there are a few people who won't do vaccines- because they fear worsening their disease- by far, the great majority do vaccines. As to blaming everything on mutation, uggh, yeah, no. And Farrar, thanks for the great laugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what if you were an only child until you were 10 and then had EOW step brothers for a couple of years and then one step brother comes to live with you when he is 15 and you are 16.....then what is the reason for every issue?
