Ya know the one thing my kids have never said anything about my Vitiligo because they still see MAMA. I just love my children and I love the fact that God made them this way, they know who their mom and dad is no matter what we may look like they still love us unconditionally.....Isn't that just awesome? My daughter told me that if anybody talks about me she will tell them off because I'm her Mama and nobody talks about her Mama.

I can relate too this Marcie because I have 2 and 4 year old daughters and they never questioned or looked at me in a strange way because I guess they think this is the way that daddy is supposed to be and I thank god for my kids and even my oldest two daughters from a previous relationship never questioned my vitiligo either I just think it's basically a situation where they are so used to it that they think it's the way we should be, just like our kids can't picture us as children because they only known us as adults
I can relate to your situation (and many others of course !) very well. My situation is reverse of yours. My 9 year old daughter is the one who has the condition. As a parent, I never see my child as a person with vit. But, sometimes, I do get caught in that syndrome of "what happens", when she is a teen ager, she is grown up, friends tease her, this, that. Simply my mind goes out of control. I used to suffer. When I started to read the forum discussions, magically, my sufferring started to disappear. I feel like, our family has a bond with every single person on this forum. Some kind of satisfaction and a feeling of "togetherness", like an extended family feeling really.
Luckly, her condition is getting reversed. Protopic and Halobestol is working for her (I have written atleast dozen times about our progress in the past). I would like to come back one day and say, we stopped the medicine. Hopefully, not too far in the future. .
Love knows no boundry's. It defines your bond between you and your kids. My adopted daughter keeps me in line when I'm feeling down and reminds me all the time she loves me. We should be so fortunate and blessed.
