It Just Pisses Me Off!!
When people find out you have a child with autism I hate when they say "God only gives you what you can handle". To me that's like saying "Thank God it ain't me" or "Better you than me" it's a complisult. It just pisses me off!! I do not believe God had anything to do with me having a autistic child. I believe God will punish those who caused my child to be autistic like goverment/pharmasutical. Than there will be justice in the universe!! I do not blame God for having a autistic child. I think God is just as pissed off as I am for destroying the lives of so many of his children!! Sorry, if I'm harsh, I'm just so pissed to be in this situation with no good way out!!!
An opinion
The statement “God only gives you things that he knows you can handle" was just said to me today at the library as I’m holding like 12 books about Mercury in vaccines, Autism, theory of mind, biomedical stuff, and Jenny McCarthys new book, ect… I have known this guy for years but found myself unable to speak up and say anything. It was his way of attempting to empathize with what I’ve been through. All I could mumble out was “I know, Thank you.”
It's a Complisult!!
I did not know how to react to that statement at first? But, I knew it pissed me off to no end!! Now when someone says it I say "I know, you couldn't last a day in my life."
Mom Comebacks
I admit that made me laugh.
"Could be worse..."
It’s ok to be upset with this remark. I really dislike people saying “it could always be worse!”. You know what, it could be but right now it doesn’t feel like it. It’s true, no matter how bad things get, our attitude could always make them worse. Through this whole mess I’ve gotten over the “this isn’t fair” and have done my best to give my all, saddle up & ride this out. These remarks are rather insulting to us and its unfortunate others do not acknowledge this.
