A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THAL PARENTS

<< < (2/2)

Katerina_Mall:
Thank you for ur lovley replies to my post...

im happy to see that i can feel how my parents feel and how all parents feel with a child of thal
you see my mom and dad got married  (my mom was 16 and my dad 25) when i came along i was diagnosed at 6 months old with thal and my mom was 17...and all her attention and love  was towards me...  its like she lost her world under her feet  , she was totatly lost in 1980 (when i was born) encyclopedias then said that childrens born with thal only lived till the age of 3....  so that was real hard for my parents .... my mom never stopped searching about thal ... so yes my dad felt alittle left out... because i got all the attention and love..my mom gave me all her soul....my dad in the other hand had to bring the money home...someone had to pay the bills...so he in his own way got caught up with work and left the other part to my mom.....so instead of my issue bringing them stronger together...it spread them apart.....for many years....after 11 yrs they had a 2nd baby my brother (non thal)  whom i love more than anything ....(my mom was scared to have a second baby earlier) at the time Dr Lucareli was in the spotlite with bone marrow transplant....to be honest at the age 0f 13 i didnt want to do the transplant...i didnt want my brother to go through any needle priking....or any hospital time, u see im use to it...i didnt want him going through anything even if it was for my own good...to cut a long story short...my parents divorsed...i dont blame anyone of them...i understand both parents... thats why in my thank you post i try to make fathers understand...and im trying to apologise for taking moms love....and attention....being a parent is a real hard job especialy when a baby comes with no instruction guide especialy when it has a blood disorder or then again any health problem....we all make mistakes....we are only human....im just trying to let all parents know that we love you no matter what..and my advise is  try and understand one another and try and become stronger through this tide of ur life....the begining is difficult..the unknown ..the scare of loseing a child...but dont forget eachother... 2 people is better thaqn one fighting....in any tide life brings you....love eachother and understand eachother....thats all...
