![]() I wasn't sure what it was, I thought that maybe she just had sensitive skin like me. I hadn't really dealt with allergies in kids since my son didn't have them and neither did any child or adult in my entire family. When we brought them home, however, we noticed that one of the girls, let's call her OD since she was a whole 4.5 minutes older than her sister, was developing a rash. They were born right on their due date, latched perfectly, and passed all their postnatal tests with stellar stats. When my twin girls were born, we had no issues in the hospital. I can no longer look at the pictures of us because it makes me too angry to. We even had a golden retriever named Argo as if we weren't the picture of familial happiness as is. My DH is an engineer and I'm a college professor. Every time I took a picture of us, we looked like the families in the stock photos you can google for. My DH got married in 2002 and had our son 10 months later in the same year. This happened 12 years, 2 months, and 13 days ago on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005. Trigger Warning: a MIL who doesn't believe in allergies and the price I paid for it. This is going to be a long post as I'm a rambler and there is a lot of background involved. I've spoken English for 30 years, but it's not my first language and occasionally I use the wrong word because that's what the direct translation is, so I apologize in advance if I confuse anyone. I've written and deleted this post maybe 7 times now, but I think it's time to get it out. I was talking about this subreddit with my therapist and she gave me the homework of speaking out more about my story to see if it lessened my pain. I'm a first time poster, but I discovered this subreddit a few months ago. ![]()
