I know because my daughter and I fought it for 9 long years. We now know that we hold certain truths, which while are not always easy, are the cure (the only cure) to this heinous disease. Imagine watching your child come home from school day after day with a tear stained face after enduring relentless teasing. Imagine watching your child struggle to keep up with children their own age doing things as simple as jumping rope or playing hop scotch. Lay in bed at night wondering what you've done, and wake up feeling just as helpless as when you went to bed. Millions of families are searching desperately for answers. Answers that can not come from people who haven't climbed this very mountain themselves.
