Raining on someone's recruitment parade

[SECMom]

I like the idea of starting a thread for mamas in pain.....unless you have a child who has been hurt like this you cannot imagine how it feels. A place to find support, especially from those who have "been there" would, IMO, be a good thing.

It would also be helpful to hear from girls who had survived this particular ordeal. We all know that life goes on, but in that particular moment you might not be so sure......
