FJ,
I personally felt that it was my own mother more so than anything else is what has gotten me over the hump as far as dealing with my HL was concerned...
So, you go on about being a great mother! And do not let some of the culturally deaf, which I think it's just their concern about preserving their culture more so than anything else is why they supposedly have a beef with the way you're raising your child, etc, disrupt the special bond you have with your own child! That came out of you in particular and not from some stranger whereas some of them also happens to be deaf who think they actually should have more to say on how your OWN VERY CHILD SHOULD BE RAISED...!
