Kathy,

As long as there are people, there will always be opinions. That's a fact that no one can change. There will always be those that "Think" what they want to think and nothing or no one can change that fact. They didn't live in your house, they weren't privy to your mothering skills, and therefore will make assumptions based on what they THINK they know. These people are closed minded, self absorbed, ignorant, and downright mean...Mean people suck!!!!!

IMO I don't care what kind of a mother you are, or you think that you are. Your parenting skills have nothing to do with the fact that you lost your son. You lost your son!!!!!!!!!!

You have every right to grieve in whatever way that you want, and your parenting skills should not even be a topic of discussion IMO.

Kathy, As I have said before, I am so sorry that you, Jim, Evie and the rest of your family are going through this. Do what you need to do. Grieve for as long as it takes...... You lost your son, and that should be the only issue on the table....
