Hey Mere! Any word on the job this afternoon.

DD14 just turned on the George Lopez show. Family dysfunction at its finest.

 

[Pikester]

Another flashback:

YOU EEDIOT!

 

[JOCAmom]

Will you stop!!!!!

 

[pepperw23]

My butt rules! Love that one!!

Anyway back to Pikes TR. I'm on MK II I am loving it. Makes me feel like I am there.

 

[Pikester]

That TR almost wasn't. I had the PTR written and according to the rules you can email the Mod to move the PTR to the TR board. They lost it! I could not find the link for anything! I was no way in holy heck going to re-type it so I gave up. Once I decided that of course the Mod found it and sent me the link. I was very relieved to get it back so I could finish it.


You just gotta love Ren and Stimpy!

One of our all time favortie episodes of B&BH was the one where they couldn't laugh for the rest of the school day and then the teacher discussed sex ed with them. The last 2 minutes of the show was them outside the school laughing!

 

[JOCAmom]

I just asked DD14 if she ever saw any of the episodes. And she hasn't!

I though not too long ago, they were still showing them on tv. Am I right? Are they still? Or are we going to have to watch on the computer?

 

[Pikester]

I think they have them on every once and a while.


It's that time for me. See ya tomorrow!

D..I'm sorry if I offended you with my comments. I have no idea how difficult it must be with a child with RAD. And I also read that the woman felt that her immediate family were in danger by the child's threats and past history. What she did was extreme and ultimately endangered that child further. They said they paid someone to come get the child and bring him to a government agency, without knowing what would happen to the child that they were still legally responsible for. I know her actions were made by a very difficult decision, but still it was horribly irresponsible.

I'm not suggesting that the mother was a child predator, just that she betrayed that child's trust. Its all coming out wrong. The idea of a childhood with such terrible experiences just makes me so sad and angry.

No worries Kitty! I still love ya. Just wanted the world to know that RAD mothers aren't all monsters. Just people who have been driven to the end of their rope - and then some. I have stories of mostly moms from my support line that had it much worse than I did. It would absolutely blow you away what they had to put up with. So very sad.

Children w/ severe RAD don't really have trust, so there's not much to betray. In order to have any sense of trust, one has to bond to someone. These children are so twisted that they believe everyone will leave them and ultimately it is their goal to push everyone away. They are so damaged that love actually feels like someone is trying to kill them. I know that sounds so foreign to us, but this is what I've learned in the classes I took. They have come to rely on only themselves and anytime someone tries to infiltrate that and actually parent them, they lash out at that person like they're being attacked.

 

[D&DDisney]

Oh...and now I've got the B&B laugh going through MY head.

 

[JOCAmom]

Night Pikester!

 

[JOCAmom]

D&D, you've really opened my eyes about the difficulties of RAD. I know we've talked before and you know my DS has many problems too. Some are worse than your DS and some are not as bad. But until you've walked a few feet in any person's shoes who has a child with severe problems, you will never know what it's like. And this is just a general observation.

You know what I love about our thread? We can have serious conversations with differences of opinion and never resort to name calling, harsh words, or snottiness. You all have opened my eyes to so much and for that I am always grateful.

We have had some serious conversations haven't we??
But what we have is true debate. We listen, try to understand, empathize, and in the end whether we agree or not, we have truly learned something. And you're right JOCA we do it all w/o putting anyone down.

You all are still the BEST. Sorry for getting all "mama bear" on you.

Okay....time to lighten up again.

So this horse walks into a bar and the bartender says "Why the long face?"

My favorite is this one...
A man walks into a bar and says "ouch." Always makes me giggle.

I'm right there with ya. I always giggle at the simple jokes.

 

[JOCAmom]
