Hello Jennifer and welcome to At Risk Group. My heart really breaks
for you and your family as I read your post.Where do you turn? Well
you have many choices and they are all yours to make. We will be
happy here to listen and help you through this as much as we can.
There are others Groups you can join but one that might intrest you
more would be JHDcaregivers owned and Moderated by Jean Miller who
goes by hdcureit on the group. The address is
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JHDCargivers/ you can go there and look
to see if it is what you are needing in the way of support.
I know this is not easy for any of you, but you are not alone now you
have us. Here we do not judge anyone and there is no silly or stupid
questions. We are here for each other and we do our best to make sure
you have support to make it through this time and what ever you need
later on down the road.
It is protocal to go see psycohlogist to see how you might handle the
results. May I ask if the real father has HD and what state you are
from? Sometimes they will not test a child without testing the real
parent, as the real parent will know they have HD. It is sort of a
messed up thing but there protocals are in place to help everyone. If
you look in the LINKS there are many places to find information on HD
and there is some that will tell you how testing protocals go. Please
know you can post here with you worries, concerns and questions as we
will be here for you! I hope this has helped you some and not
confused you any more. If I can be of any help please just ask and I
will see what I can do.
Susie
