Overcoming my guilt and denial
Hi, this is Evelyn. I am a mom, just like you. My son is almost completely out of the world. It wasn't always like this.
I spent months after the diagnosis living in two worlds. In one, my son was horribly afflicted, and it was my fault. I knew I has done nothing wrong. That left only one possibility. I WAS wrong. This was my punishment. The other world was a place in which I could only see what I wanted to see. Every time something happened that looked like progress, I would tell myself, "See, the doctor must be wrong. He's just growing out of it."
There is a path out of guilt and denial.
