Re: Emotional Issues of Brachial Plexus Injuries

<t>My son is 20 now. I have to say puberty was very hard for him...he started saying things like "I wish I had never been born."<br/> We took him to counseling and it did get better but for us the best thing we did was to home school him. It took him out of the bad bully environment. He was able to ...

He said it felt funny...I felt horrible when the doc said it was a clean break right through both bones of his forearm......
