Sometimes being different feels a lot like being alone.
Today we bring you a story of a woman who was hated by everyone that was close to her because she refused to kill her own son.
She is called francine.
She lives here about 13 years ago.
She gave birth to a baby boy.
She expected a lot from the baby she had given birth to.
She thought the little angel was going to bring a lot of joy in her life when she was giving birth.
It wasn’t something easy at all, because she tried a lot but failed to push the baby and it was necessary that the doctors had to use a machine to pull out her baby.
She gave birth to a disabled baby and it was necessary that she should take him to the hospital a couple of times in order to get medication.
Upon reaching the hospital, the doctor said that the baby’s case was not normal and they gave her a medical transfer to go to a much bigger hospital because they said they could not at all handle the baby’s condition.
They put her baby through different scanners and they always gave her a lot of different types of medication as they kept transferring her to bigger hospitals.
But all that failed because the baby did not get any better.
She used to see doctors always using a toothbrush to slowly rub on her son’s skin, and she said that was because her son’s body was dominant and they wanted to see if he could feel anything, but everything they tried turned out negative.
According to her, breastfeeding this baby was impossible because his entire body was paralyzed and he could not pull milk out of her mother’s breasts, and all she always did was to try milking herself by squeezing her breasts in order to get milk to give to her baby.
But that did not take long, since breast milk couldn’t come out anymore because his son had never touched her breasts.
He is 13 years old, but he has never laughed and all he does is cry.
All night and day.
A few years ago, doctors told her that her son will be fine and he just needed to eat good food and take his medicine as described, but a few months ago, they started telling her to learn to live with her son’s condition, because he will never be a normal person and he will stay like this for his entire life unless he gets treated by professional doctors abroad.
They told her, most of the parts of her son’s brain, like those that make him talk, touch, laugh, walk, sit and control his body, did not work at all, and that is the reason why his son is living in this kind of way.
His father always got bothered by his friends, who always laughed at him while asking him what kind of creature he had given birth to, and this always pissed him off and he started beating his wife while locking her out of the house for some nights.
He hated his home for quite a long period because he used to go and spend weeks without coming back home, and she remembers a certain time when he spent six months without coming back or even calling them on the phone.
She thought that he did such things not because he hated them.
He had fear that he had a disorder and he thought that he would never give back to a normal child.
Those times were so hard, according to her, because she did not have any way to support her son, which always made her feel useless as a mother.
What worried her a lot was that her son’s condition was not getting any better at all, yet he was growing.
