Borderline retardation and low cognitive skills

[along-for-the-ride]

Welcome, Debra...and give your hubby a hug from all of us.

Let me tell you a little about my daughter. She had occasional seizures as a child, but thanks to medication, they were controlled. She had a hard time in school, especially focusing on her studies. She was very active, but did not really talk that much. She was in the Special Olympics, enjoyed it, and did very well. She finally graduated from High School at nineteen, and we all were very proud of her.
She enjoys bingo,reading, and puzzles and being Auntie to her nieces and nephew. She is living with her Dad in another State and does the housekeeping for him. She gets a Social Security check every month. She calls me to chat...and in fact...just called me to wish me a Happy Mother's Day. I tell her that her calls always make me happy..which is indeed true. Just to hear her voice and chat makes my day. She is a grown woman now and seems to be happy. That is what I wish for her. I told her to make sure she does something for herself and, as I tell my sons, to be particular. She is a gentle, loving, giving soul and I am proud to be her mother. I love her...and miss her very much.

My husband loves me unconditionally and he is perfectly normal person. I can make message boards so I do feel little bit better about myself that way. Sometimes I just get all depressed and sad at times.

Hey Debra, it took a lot of guts to post that, i'm sorry i didn't see it earlier.
You will be welcomed here, i for one admire you and you will find a lot of friends here. I am a bit pissed at the mo, but my heart still goes out to you.
