how can you call her selfish?....she didn’t ditch her son....he’s not in an institution...he wasn’t left on the side of the road...he wasn’t aborted...he wasn’t battered to death....
That was sarcasm right?
She didn’t choose convenience. She kept her child. She regrets that.
Pol Pot can only claim in the range of 1 to 3 million, a mere piker in comparison to NOW. I believe you meant Mao Zedong.
Some people are not fit to be parents. Period.
She is not a good person; just selfish to say that and don’t you think her son has not heard her say of this. Gaul, no, very sad for the son.
Shortly out of high school I worked with the retarded in an institution for a couple years. In many cases, bad as they are, the people are safer in there than being with their parents. Some parents are indeed great and very much ‘parents’ even if the child has to be institutionalized.
But many of the parents are vile. They really hate their offspring.
Mao.
Correct. Pol Pot is still trying to get out of the AA short season league.
Very true. And if she really feels unable to care for him further, there are humane institutions he could go to. No reason for him to be "alone" when his parents die.
You’re a whole lot more understanding than I am. This nutjob lady had better get her cards right with the Almighty prior to her death.
I can’t believe a mother would say this about her own flesh & blood!
These morons don’t realize that this life is but a vapor.
“She worries about what will happen to her son when she dies.”
Ergo, best to kill the little bugger
Oy!!!
Yes, she being honest in saying that she, "WISHES EVERY DAY" that she had killed her son.
just walk in her shoes, and do it every day for 47 yrs...
people that have perfect children have no idea what it is like to have a disabled child,
And it sounds as if YOU support her. EVERY women who has an abortion has a "walk in my shoes" angle. This pathetic excuse, which YOU are repeating all over this thread, is used to justify an abortion EVERY 24 SECONDS in the United States. Congratulations, YOU are helping to justify the most barbaric and horrific act of genocide in human history.
What she doesn't realize it that God gave her an innocent angel to care for to make her soul pleasing to Him.
She has failed the most important test of her life...
I am with you. I don’t see how any mother could say they wish they didn’t have a child. Thanks heavens, I had wonderful loving parents and never felt not wanted. That has to be a terrible terrible feeling even for this son with downs.
Sometimes it’s not a matter of knowing how to ask, but knowing who to ask.
You are right.
They tell us we have no say in the matter and then say we haven’t walked a mile in their shoes. As if we never tried to warn them.
so she would have preferred to kill him herself?
I don't hate her. She may even be a generally kind woman. But I greatly pity her for the burden of her corrupted and twisted thinking that puts a vacation to Greece as some kind of ultimate good, above that of the needs of her son.
Cherry, I’m not trying to be difficult. I am curious how you see these cases being handled in terms of policy. What kind of policy would you favor and how would you see it being implemented?
