Ashley: I think the reason why your original comments may have upset so many is because many of us have young children. Our children have full and wonderful lives in front of them. For myself and as a mother, to think that my son is living with a "horrible condition" is unfair and inconceivable to both of us. I need to have a positive outlook when addressing CAH for myself and my son. If I treat him different, he will think he is. If I make a big deal of CAH, then it will become one. Yes, life isn't always rosy, but this applies to all of us with or without CAH. I do NOT live in a "dream world" as assumed by "me" in an earlier posting. I FULLY REALIZE the possible problems that my son may incurr - especially as a mother knowing what could happen to my child brings me to tears . But, what does someone like "me" think I should do - obsess over them, what good would that do??? I am truly sorry that you have had so many problems and I fully appreciate your candidness. Because I do not have CAH it would be insensitive of me to say that I understand what you are going through. However, I can say from my own experience that even when you are at your lowest point it DOES get better - just give yourself and life a chance to show you!!! And - please continue to come here for help and support - we are all here for each other. Kimberly
