I am absolutely certain that we do not deserve to be blamed and stigmatized in this way.  In our case, it is not a psych diagnosis, it is a poverty diagnosis.

It is very common for people "of money" to lose it.  Stock market crashes, real estate declines, con artists and family who don't pay pack loans make the people vulnerable.  Once they lose some of their money how will they express their love for their children?

Don't feel bad about your poverty diagnosis, you don't have to worry about external forces taking away the love for your son.

I live in low income housing, HUD, and have help with Val's costs in nursing through DSHS. It's not the measure of our worth. Sending love...
