Diane Sawyer - Appalachian Special

Well it was nice of her to apologize(thank you) but it was still a crappy remark and it was a direct hit against my kids and if there is one thing that I will defend and fight for is my kids, I am a lioness when it comes to them. They are not here to speak up for themselves so I will, it's what a mom does.

Kokopup apologized for her remark, and I think she was right to. But it's a bit ironic to read the outrage in your reply after extremely harsh and insensitive posts I have seen you make towards other people.

I understand your defense of them and I would feel the same; I just wish you could extend some of that empathy that you have for your kids and those close to you to others around you, too. I'm sure your child who suffers from depression has had some major trials and probably has been judged by other people.

You've implied these people are just lazy or simply don't want 'better' for their children enough to turn things around based off what you saw on a television show. It's no more right than someone making statements about your child's depression and the reasons for it. At least that is how I see it.

The apology was made to you Marigold not to your kids. The comment I made was never directed at them in the first place.

Although kokopup is a female dog the person writing these post is Male.
Maybe I need to change my handle to "Kokopup' dad"
