Hey Shimas, thanks for the kind word. So he's a little guy eh? That explains a lot, LMS or Little Man Syndrome. Of course, not a documented disease, but I've known lots of little guys like that who have to prove themselves. What goes around, comes around. He will get his someday, not soon enough though. Hang in there, be as supportive as you can be. It will be a hard road and I hopes he doesn't experience too many bumps. Take care of you and that baby!

Maryann,

I can relate to your fiance's situation somewhat. I was severely shaken by my father when I was fur months ld. This left me with multiple disabilities. My father was never punished for shaking me. I'm 31 years old now and still have my moments. I'll never see or walk. I have limited hand control. I also have spasms in my arms and legs. I could go on and on about the things that I can't do but I'd rather focus on the things that I can do. I'm thankful I have my intellegence. I'm also thankful to have my computer with the screen reading software.  can't change what happened to me but I can speak out about the dangers of shaking a baby. I use my pain to educate others. I understand that not everyone can do that but it is an idea. Hang in there.

 Wow, Jessie, you have an amazing attitude. Did you ever forgive your father?

 HI MARYANN CONGRATS ON THE BABY ! YES THAT WAS A VERY SAD STORY INDEED ~ MY BEST WISHES GO OUT TO YOU AND FAMILY ! YOUR BABY IS A GIFT FROM ABOVE , MAY SHANE SHOW THIS CHILD WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN HE IS !                  RAINEY XO 

 PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED ON THE BIRTH OF THE BABY !!!!!!!   RAINEY 

Hi MaryAnn.......I think your insight into how to focus on the positive........the prospect of you and Shane expecting your first baby......is right on the money. Is this bully still around ?.His anger is understandable.........but at this point is only hurting Shane.........Maybe if you could get that point accross............that he's not hurting him.......just himself. You brought up God...........does Shane read the Bible ? Jesus when asked how many times should we forgive......seven ?......No .........seventy times seven.............I know.........much easier said than done.......especially given how much this bully's action has altered Shane's life. I'm so glad for him that he has you in his life...........two are stronger than one.........and three will make it even better. Good luck to you both,..........and congratulations !.................Peace and love......Norma

I've forgiven him in my heart but not in person if that makes any sese. I don't have any contact with my father. I wouldn't know my father's voice if I heard it.
