[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 88566, member: 13077"] I had a bit of a breakdown when my son was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 8 months old. He also has Down syndrome so another diagnoses wasn't received very well. Diabetes will also mean that it will be unlikely that my son will ever have any independence and nor will I. I saw a psychiatrist while at the hospital when Khaleb was first admitted and was told that I don't have to like/enjoy what has happened but that wont change the fact that it has. I still don't like Khaleb having either of his conditions but we do try and live life to the best of our ability. Anyway, I don't think anyone can really ask you to like having diabetes but a part of being an adult is also being responsible. In a few years time your life might be different and you may have want children and having control of your diabetes and not fighting it every step of the way might make your journey in life a little more comfortable. Vent here as much as you want. Jen. [/QUOTE]
