If we are ever to become the civilized society that we pretend to be, we must not tolerate these insidious acts of verbal violence. Discrimination is something we can all understand here. I think this is a perfectly appropriate forum for your observation. As for Rush, I think the title of Al Franken’s book says it all! - Gilligan Sun, 07 Feb 2010 10:02:05 +0100 http://www.panicsurvivor.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&Itemid=72&lang=en&show=Words-CAN-Hurt.html#comment-10767 My cousin is a twin and she was born with cerebral palsy. She is now 18 and doing well but she drags her leg and her hands have no control sometimes. She works her behind off for special olympics. She is always washing cars or doing some kind of fund raiser. I love that kid. That was a great post. Do you realize that we with Panic Disorder and all the rest of these disorders get treated differently by people. I've been talked about behind my back. y neighbors treat me that way. People who think they are so called normal have a tendency to judge others. As Ed says in the end there is judgement.

Not seeking revenge here, but I am saying that all things will even out either in this life or the next. Know that there is a reason for everything and we are constantly being put to the test. For all of us sometimes we pass and sometimes we fail. If we deliberetly fail for our earthly rewards, then we will be judged by that deed. When we die we die alone.

Although it might not be the same, my younger brother suffers from a stuttering problem. I always feared that people would make fun of him for it, and I was SOOO defensive of him anytime anybody would even bring it up. It really was something that I had, and I guess do have to start to stop worrying about atleast a little bit. It's so hard when you care about someone though and someone is belittling them. He's a senior now in high school, and going to college next year. I hope all goes well for him there, I let my social anxieties get the best of me there. I can only imagine with his social problems how hard it will be. Hopefully he can be as strong as you daughter and push through it. She's a tough one! :) - Mike619er Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:57:19 +0100 http://www.panicsurvivor.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&Itemid=72&lang=en&show=Words-CAN-Hurt.html#comment-10761 As one mother to another I feel the pain you are feeling for all the struggles your child has had to endure. Nothing hurts more than when your child is being singled out for any reason. Yes you are so right...words do hurt. Your daughter's accomplishments are major and her life goal to help others is a testament to what a wonderful, supportive mother you have been to her. Congrats on raising such a terrific person!! - cryingout Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:45:42 +0100 http://www.panicsurvivor.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&Itemid=72&lang=en&show=Words-CAN-Hurt.html#comment-10759 Never apologize for being proud of your child, for being an advocate for others, or for standing up to people who would use others for their own gain. This space is yours - this blog! Beautifully written. I did not know about your daughter's challenges but I am thrilled to see that she has succeeded in so many things in her young life! And I wish her all the best. You GO Mom! - ceejay Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:46:29 +0100 http://www.panicsurvivor.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&Itemid=72&lang=en&show=Words-CAN-Hurt.html#comment-10756 Very good blog, Inspired. We all need to be reminded that words can indeed hurt. It's too bad that some of the "shock jocks" lack the skill to find a better way to try to increase their ratings. Thanks for sharing this with us. - Anxious Lady Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:26:22 +0100
