It's been awhile since I've addressed this but it appears as though the time has come once again. For the record.  The whole point of this blog is transparency. I provide as much detail as I can, not to gain sympathy or donations, as has been insinuated. I do things this way because I want people to understand what happens in our day to day life.  It's important that people understand all the obstacles we face as a family raising 3 boys with special needs.  My goal is that you can apply what you learn from my family, to someone in your life that may be going through something similar.  There will always be people that hide behind screen names and word vomit unpleasant things.  To them I say this. …

You know, I guess there really isn't much to report at this point, no pun intended.  Having said that, I have been thinking a lot about this while thing.  I have an ongoing poll right now, trying to get an idea of how many people have been through something similar to us.

We bought a van, two years ago and within the first year, we were forced to dump $8,000+ into it, just to keep it running.  We were swindled and it's my fault for trusting the guy that sold us the van. We basically chased the repairs around.  We justified the repairs because the body was literally perfect and we honesty didn't know what else to do. We basically had the engine rebuilt and the…

We've had quite a few new experiences lately and not all pleasant ones.  If you read my previous post, you know that Gavin was the target of a very mean spirited child yesterday while on the playground. I'm not sure if that qualifies as bullying but the kids was, for lack of a better word, a jerk.

How do you handle situations in which your child is being made fun of for being different? What have you done in the past? When this happens, if your child even aware that they are being victimized? In Gavin's case, he was completely oblivious to what…
