Thanks for the response to my post. I think we have all at one time or another had a lapse of good old common sense. I have made my share of poor decisions over time. I have no soapbox to stand on, no ax to grind. Having a special needs daughter feels much like walking around with a knife imbeded deep into your chest 24/7. Sometimes a careless word or thoughtless remark
or deed twists that knife a bit. When that happens, it hurts, and you react.

Nicole is 16 now, and that's how long I have been crying on the inside. But it has never been my way to push my idea of what is right or wrong, proper or improper, on anyone else. This was a lapse of judgement by the fellow who made the original post. I am sure his intent was to hurt no one.

Some of us are just more affected by events and actions because of our own special circumstances.

One result of the original post that started all of this, is that I heard from many sensitive caring chip board members. And what they had to say reminded me how many really good people there are on this board.

Thanks again

JL
