16. Teasing

I was bullied from the time I started school because of a very severe speech impediment. We also moved often when I was a child which compounded the problem. I know 1st hand how much years of verbal and physical bullying can effect ones life. Now I have a child whose disability is greater then mine was. Please do not be offended by the comparison but it is like a vet who has been drafted and forced to experience some of worst the mental pain caused by others who you have nothing against and would prefer just to know and love who than sees the same done to her own child but to a greater degree. My son often says he tries his best but feels that he is often the one blamed when he was not the one that initiated something. I know he is not a saint but I have also known his sweetness. I try to make home a refuge like my parents and family did for me but I also do not think he has nearly the support I did. Plus at least I was often able to make friends at home at the places we lived but he has never been able to be accepted by the only 2 kids his age on our street. Maybe things will be better after the move than I fear. But as A parent I have mourned for his pain for years.
