To the fakers out there:

[C-n-Imom]

Whenever I read about another faker I feel a lot of emotions. I feel a little sad that someone is so starved for attention that they must fake something horrible or tragic in order to recieve attention. I feel fairly disgusted that they would choose to use a horrible and tragic story to get that attention because it is wrong to pkay upon the emotions of others in such a way. But most of all I feel angry.

I'm angry because fakers make it that much harder for those of us with real stories to get their story heard. I'm angry because fakers, bring up emotions and memories in those of us with real stories that we struggle to control at times. Mostly I am angry because IMO fake stories make a mockery out of real stories.

My son has a fatal illness. He is a real person, with real emotions, hopes and dreams. I am a real person with real emotions and real hopes and dreams for my son. How dare someone come along and make a mockery out of what I and others are living every day. aving a sick, dead or dying child is not a place anyone wants to be. I can assure you that those of us who do would change places with our kids in a heartbeat.

So, the next time you consider posting a fake story, please stop and really put yourself in the place of a mother like me. Hopefully that will stop your heart cold long enough for you to consider garnering attention in a positive, rather than a negative way.
