So sorry Kim, she is in our prayers. We are in the same boat with our older son and thankfully a GFCF diet and protein supplements have made a huge difference for him.

So sorry Kim, she is in our prayers. We are in the same boat with our older son and thankfully a GFCF diet and protein supplements have made a huge difference for him. Stand your ground mom, you are doing the right thing on the vax (but you know that). I'm sure you can get an exemption for college. Even here in California (which doesn't have a childhood vax religious exemption) they have them for college. The National Vaccine Information Center is a great resource if you need help. God bless.
Thank you, Jeff. I have extreme guilt about ever having vaccinated her. But I did not know then what I know now. She is on a gluten free, low fodmap diet. And supplements. It’s helping but always a struggle.
I know it's difficult for moms. Years after my son's issues started my wife told me the same thing, the guilt. Men and women are so different, it had never even entered my mind. I was angry that we had been manipulated into doing it but never felt guilty. Once my wife told me I was shocked, I had no idea what she was going through.
You were deliberately manipulated by a very sophisticated campaign that toyed with your emotions. They told you that you would be a bad mom if you didn't give your child the shots. (This is why I think it hits moms so much harder, they don't say this to dads.) They used your God-given maternal instinct against you in a despicable fashion. It was a cynical and evil, and done just so they could make money.
I know it's easy to say but you have nothing to be guilty about. You were doing what you thought was in your child's best interests and were betrayed by people that you trusted. Betrayed by people who's very job it is to help you protect your child. That's not your fault. About the only thing that comes close is a child being abused by a religious figure that claims to follow Christ. It's that bad.
Lay that guilt at the feet of Jesus. He knows what kind of mom you are and how much you love your kids, He will break those chains of guilt. And know that everyone here is pulling for you and that you'll use that righteous anger to never let anyone ever again hurt your child. I know it sounds trite, but God does use the trials to transform us even though we can't possibly understand how in the moment. God bless and prayers up.

Thank you ❤️ God has been working on me on laying things down. So this is a timely word.
So perceptive and so very well-stated, Jeff C.
