Loving her, and supporting her. You found this out so, so early and that's a good thing, even if you think you waited to long or didn't see the signs. I know it's not the same, but I talk often, openly and honestly, about what Jen and I go through. She has Bipolar Depression, severe Anxiety and social Anxiety. I have severe OCD, Depression and separation anxiety. For that last one? No one ever understood, except her. I can't go anywhere without her, not even the store. I have blacked out over the thought, get a fuzzy throat, feel dizzy, etc. OCD? My parents thought I was just... Weird. Jen's parents didn't understand her depression either, and thought she was just being emotional.<br /><br />Parents must, must, must support their kids. I believe that with my whole heart and soul. Jen is transgender, and oh so slowly is her mom accepting that, despite knowing for years. And even than, it may be slow, but we're grateful that she is accepting her daughter.<br /><br />What you're doing is the best gift you could give your little girl. Remember that. <3Sailor Julyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201797370322000117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654005603694297857.post-15990552644935931362013-01-03T23:07:36.789-07:002013-01-03T23:07:36.789-07:00that is a lot of love for you both! in your honest...that is a lot of love for you both! in your honesty and words about embracing what is. you both are so lucky to have one another. big big hugs to sweet you and sweet hailee!! xoxojojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055598807860672549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654005603694297857.post-25226113469395936682013-01-03T05:49:41.729-07:002013-01-03T05:49:41.729-07:00Every blog is different.

But I think when it starts to feel in-authentic, we ought to take note.<br />For me, it didn't feel right to discuss tougher issues on some of my blogs, but now I have created one where it is about the tough stuff, albeit not heavy-handed. I also figured that whereas a private journal includes rants and raves, lol, a public one ought to show a way out too, most of the time anyway.<br /><br />Anyway, just sharing my own experience. Good on you for taking the brave road.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863793441609598153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654005603694297857.post-4338137782478967942013-01-02T18:47:22.060-07:002013-01-02T18:47:22.060-07:00Love you, your honesty and your bravery Celina.Love you, your honesty and your bravery Celina.Melissahttp://longhaulfilms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654005603694297857.post-82459228533901505382013-01-02T18:44:04.821-07:002013-01-02T18:44:04.821-07:00Sending you BIG love today and every day.Sending you BIG love today and every day.Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574391199840977118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654005603694297857.post-4906971233537350282013-01-02T16:26:19.795-07:002013-01-02T16:26:19.795-07:005 months ago ... that's when I originally disc...5 months ago ... that's when I originally discovered 'Altered Muse' by participating in Susannah's August Break.<br /><br />Today ... the day I reach out to 'you', to let you know you are not alone.<br /><br />Aspergers - a word that a few years ago I had never even heard. There has not been a diagnosis for my son, but there isn't a day that goes by where my parenting isn't supported by all that I have learned about aspergers (or anxious, or highly sensitive children).<br /><br />It has been a challenging journey for me, absolutely. Yet along the way, my precious son continues to be my best teacher.<br /><br />So glad you reached out with this post ...kat {pipkin hollow}http://pipkinhollow.com/welcome/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654005603694297857.post-38441046185154988752013-01-02T16:10:16.845-07:002013-01-02T16:10:16.845-07:00I imagine having some answers is a bit of a relief...I imagine having some answers is a bit of a relief, and I only hope you don't beat yourself up too much about when she was diagnosed.

You are so very brave and real -- and if all that rubs off on Hailee -- she will be far ahead of most. Thank you for sharing something so difficult here - as always I am humbled by your words, your grace, and your truth.
