I've been reading your blog for awhile now (and have even added you to my blog roll!) and very much enjoy it. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to you for having the courage to be so transparent on a public blog! No doubt your stories help others out there.eskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500578707910599297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20460557.post-88982276742115868602008-11-18T13:18:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:18:00.000-05:00I love you dear friend......now, next time it woul...I love you dear friend......now, next time it would be better for me to share this with you over a glass of wine. Lets make a girlfriend date soon [my birthday is next month....what a great excuse for me to come visit you in the city] and my girl keeps asking about your girl.

I think I originally found the link to your blog on another blog for moms with disabled kids. I have a child with disabilities as well--he has basal ganglia disease. It's good to read about how other families cope--makes you feel less alone. I also used to live in NYC (have a PhD from Columbia) and enjoy soaking up that New York vibe from your blog. Just thought I'd introduce myself.jeneva22https://www.blogger.com/profile/14796890614666454443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20460557.post-69054524836638552732008-11-16T18:45:00.000-05:002008-11-16T18:45:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for stopping by, Miriam!

I will make a point of visiting your blog on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>I think that divorce in general is a taboo subject, despite (or perhaps because of?) its ubiquity. In particular, the non-intact family seems to be verboten in media, advertising, product packaging, and anything that is supposed to tell us how we live. Combined with the difficulty of discussing developmental disabilities to begin with, well, it's understandable no one talks about this. I hope to make a little dent in the enormous silence.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227880272394874647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20460557.post-35988200632157924752008-11-16T17:30:00.000-05:002008-11-16T17:30:00.000-05:00Amy, I found your blog through a random DS feed, a...Amy, I found your blog through a random DS feed, and I'm glad I did. I love the quote in your header--Edna St. Vincent Millay is one of my favorite poets. This is such a sad post... I'm sorry to "meet" you during such a difficult time in your life. I poked around a bit and found an your post from last November about the divorce rate among special needs parents. You know, I've been in the DS community for 16 years, and reading DS email lists for 13, and I do not recall this ever coming up as a topic with actual discussion and help. Now, you've got me thinking. Thanks for sharing at such a vulnerable time in your life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20460557.post-30331677603239699212008-11-16T17:18:00.000-05:002008-11-16T17:18:00.000-05:00Thanks, Stacey.

I hope our relationship is one of those that is satisfying to you b/c I value having you in my life. It is hard to negotiate this weird public space, isn't it? I've been on the receiving end of some nasty attacks by people who don't know me at all and know how painful that can be. Anyway, you're tops in my book.
