I drove property feeling exasperated not with the diagnosis but with the prognosis. I couldn’t accept that Luke’s possible was seen as so limited. Dr. Forbes hadn’t offered a list of what Luke might be able to do instead all I got was a list of warnings. It felt like he was reading the side of a ladder afraid that when we began trying to climb up out of the abyss we could file a lawsuit against him when we didn’t make it out far enough. I was angry, my head hurt, and I was convinced at this point that despite all his training Dr. Forbes knew far too significantly about the medical treatment of the psyche and really little about the science of the psyche. You don’t ever tell a mother her child will not be able to love her.Â
