HI everyone...

This thread has been incredibly interesting to me to read! Aimee, your comment about their ridiculous studies about CAH girls playing with trucks made me laugh so! It is so true...I remember at the last CARES conference a woman doing a survey asking that exact question! Well, my Chelsea hates Barbie dolls (THANK GOD) and doesn’t play with trucks either....she likes ponies and unicorns....is that weird or what?  Hmmm. She also hates babies and doesn’t have a mothering bone in her body (that has showed itself yet anyway!.....oh my, will I ever have grand kiddies?). BUT...she does not show this immense anger that you have all spoken of! She does show this incredible lack of self assurance though, and if she gets upset (read angry to other people) she internalizes it and becomes tearful and silent.  Is that her way of controlling it? I’m not sure. Is it better than letting it out? I’m not sure about that either! What about us carriers?  I struggled with anger for many, many years! I still struggle with it! I am on anti-depressants (though not the heavy dose that Wayne takes, but I once was on that much), but I can still get pretty angry pretty quick....I do not take steroids!! So is this a steroid thing, or is it an adrenal thing? I wonder. It’s all very interesting and deserves studying!

Happy Easter all!
