[stephane]

Hi, I’m a 35 y/o lip and cleft palate, the support is great and I wished my parents had internet back then to get information about the subject and had access to this kind of support. I just wanted to say that medically it is not a big problem, it is transparent with my family and friends, but socially it is another story. I felt often alone with what I was dealing with psychologically, being rejected and often pick on for so little of a problem it is hard for a child, I was confuse because within my family and my circle of friends it was not an issue, but out there in our competitive world it is different, I cried a lot not for who I am but for not understanding the different attitude.

I want to give one advise, to say that they are people with worst problems does not defuse hard situations, just make you feel not understood and alone.
