    It will change the admin on the group to me…so people get approved. It could have been started by someone who isn’t active now.

    The FB group is “Super Secret” which means the posts won’t end up on someone’s wall, and only members can access it. You have to be sponsored by someone who knows you (through a blog, IRL or somewhere) so […]

    Thank you so much Mary. I will definitely get on FB and find you! And I am totally interested in the RAD group. I will need to figure out the privacy settings of it just because the kids identity needs to remain […]

    If you’re on FaceBook there is a private group of Trauma Mommas, mostly parents of RAD kids. They’re an amazing support. If you’re interested, I also have a document that reviews of books and methods for kids […]

    I’m so glad not to be alone. There is no one…I mean no one, beside the kids therapist and my own that really understand. And even then, they tell me more often how difficult my life is than what to do about it. […]

    I can actually say I’ve been right there. On the day we learned our son would need dialysis we learned we had to put our dog down. Same thing – cancer. I just couldn’t fight for her life and for my kid’s life, […]
