Really angry by the whole thing to be honest. Cot death storylines are hard to watch but if they are done properly they can help so many people. However, this is ridiculous. When Bobo died there were quite a few people who avoided us because they thought similar things and some people do treat you as if you are in someway odd. This just gives them 'evidence' for their silly beliefs.
People would avoid you cos they thought you would steal their child? Thats terrible if thats what you mean. Sometimes I really wonder about people and what they think.
I watched it to see what would happen and how they would play it out. I havent experienced cot death and I really felt uneasy watching it. It was really sad and in parts really uncomfortable to watch. Why oh why would Charlie leave the baby alone... Its just madness... How would Ronnie hear the baby crying when there was a load of people shouting and singing outside the pub. Its just stupid that they think these are realistic.
I think it could have been done a whole lot better than they did. Like IndyandLara said Cot death storylines could help people if done properly.
Sadly that is exactly what I mean. Just after Bobo died I had people say to me that they hoped I wasn't going to steal their baby. I also had someone who I had considered up until then a good friend avoid me because she was pg and I may be contagious. My son died of a cord accident- what did she think was going to happen?
It doesn't seem to matter how much publicity there is, there are still people who hurt you more than they will ever know due to their ignorance and thoughtless remarks.
