I was discriminated against on the basis of my religion which, I realize, is nothing new in the US but it always makes me feel yucky. The really lousy part of this is that this was in a group where I was a valued member, a person other people regularly counted on for help until it became clear what religion I was. Then the person I had been all along disappeared like smoke in the air and all they could see was this demon in my place.

Ignorance is bad. Betrayal is worse. People can be so stupid.

In other news, I have the basic message board for parents in place. I've been collecting links, etc. I eventually hope to leave flyers at all the hospital pediatric wards for parents so they know where to find us. This isn't going to make me a dime (and in fact has already cost me a few) but I really feel like my compass needle has finally stopped swinging all over the place, you know? This feels like exactly the right thing for me to be doing.
