@jhigherawareness I am so so sorry this happened to you. I told my husband we are very lucky we are white, heterosexuals with very flexible and understanding jobs or else this would be even more traumatizing. I’m so sorry for you and your babies. It’s not right and I know how helpless it all...

@postal900 Thank you

@freedom93096 Thank you for the reminder. It turns out the ear is not actually a bruise. It is still there and not changing colors, still very red and he keeps scratching at it. The pediatrician has told CPS and the doctor she does not believe it is a bruise and was mischaracterized as such.

@heather81 That is so frightening and I’m so sorry for your friend. This is what is really messing with my head - the face that all three of them can be taken when we know abuse didn’t happen. The lawyer did advise the second set of X-rays. Of course I’m petrified because he’s 9 months old and...

@its_me1945 Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve never heard of it but will try to listen. Although, I am so spooked right now I feel like if I listened, I would not be able to sleep. I am so paranoid and scared even though I know it’s not abuse. The lawyer said to call her after the second...

@katrina2017 Thank you so much. These stories make me feel a bit better in that I know other moms have gone through this. I’m so sorry this happened to you too. It’s truly jarring. We are cooperating with everyone involved and I know they are ultimately just trying to protect the most...

@noldoxis Same!! When we were little, my parents literally left my brother out in the sun on a beach without sunscreen and he was burned so badly. Doctor didn’t blink an eye. I fell off bed twice and cracked my head open as a toddler. This never happened to them. I think it’s the abdomen bruise...

@sutekh Thank you ❤️

@brendabree Thank you for all is this. I thought of taking some time but work right now is the only place I’m feeling a semblance of normalcy if that makes sense? It’s keeping me busy and my mind off this during the day. My sister doesn’t have kids but I do know my 3 year old middle one has...

@clone93 And I’m glad your little ball of curiosity is ok! ❤️

@clone93 Yes, the paranoia is so intense right now. It’s a horrible feeling and I’m so sorry you feel it too. I hate that I’m feeling I can’t trust our doctor. A hug to you.

@monroedm Thank you. We have talked to one and will most likely sign a retainer. She advised us to do the second X-ray as it would raise red flags if we did not want to do it.

@jcistheog I’m so sorry about this. I can only imagine how hard this must be for you every single time. It’s like you’re preparing for the judgment, questioning, and looks every single time. It feels unreal and my heart goes out to you because I can only imagine you juggling the need for care...

@jfirebuff Thank you. This is the other part of it that I’m struggling with. My work has been so supportive but I’m kicking myself for not being able to keep it. It’s so hard to have all these balls up in the air and as soon as I think I’m getting there in terms of balancing it all, something...

@zickzackduck Thank you. It feels surreal

@idontknow Thank you. We did just because we were really scared. The attorney scared us even more because she said we were really lucky to leave with the baby. It was her second case from the hospital this week and she said usually families don’t leave with their babies and in our case, the fact...

@armoured Yes, that’s exactly how I feel. My therapist is floored by all of it as well.

@crafty We are. I want to wait until this is all done so we don’t raise any red flags to CPS but at this point, I’m not sure we can trust this pediatricians judgement.

@boateng How horrible for your Dad. I can’t even imagine and it’s happening to me but without the public watching and cops involved. Please give him a big hug.

@chicka First, I’m so sorry for you and your siblings. As someone whose parents believed in corporal punishment and fear as a way of discipline, I know how terrifying it can feel to be a child subjected to that. My heart is with you. Second, you’re so right about the wide net. It’s sad it needs...
