  1. I hope you feel better soon!
  2. My son is Autistic and not abusive . Is he frank, sure. Abusive? No.
  3. Your daughter doesn’t have to allow you time with your grandkids and as you see as the grandkids grow they have their own opinions base on their own observations. Good luck with the grandson explaining you’re giving his mother boundaries so there for he was punished with no Christmas with grandma. That won’t fly. Also if you haven’t raised your daughter with boundaries kinda too late to impose them in her 30’s.
  4. Absolutely it is perspective. I can have a hard kick your azz perspective because that is what I was given and different generational society I was raised in . When I roll my eyes I 99.9% of the time keep it to myself because I know why I have the perspective. So I would say I use compassion 99 % of the time . Sometimes that indignant hurt child bursts out . I hug her and tell her it is okay to be angry. You have a lot to be angry about and she calms down. That poor little mite, that is so sad .😞 I see rough parents as well and it breaks my adult and little girl heart. You are right, I have tried my very utmost to do the very best I can for my own child. My dad could never overcome being abused but I am so glad I did .
  5. Snippet from childhood: Home Depot Parent My very first day of highschool, grade 8. My dad signed me up to a school but refused to tell me the name. On my first day of school he says , “ get out and go to school.” I said, “ but how I don’t know the name or which way or anything.” He said, “ I don’t care get out and follow the other kids and get out. “ I said,” but dad, what if they are going to a different school?” He shoved me out the door and locked it. So I had to follow kids onto the city bus that I hoped would be my school. By the grace of God it was. He gave me no pen , no pencil , no paper. I had to beg off of other students and the teacher well well into the semester. He gave me no lunch and no money. So, when I see what some people cry about today my eyes roll back into my head.
  6. I am sorry, I know how much you have struggled and how you still are . We followed the regulations, however over 700 days of regulations it was soul breaking to so many.
  7. It was a mind screw. I feel so bad for younger generations. My son’s generation was just obliterated. The younger kids their education was obliterated. I could take it. I had some hairy mental health moments but I could take it . It is what it did to my son that just killed me. I am so so so happy to see him coming back into himself .
  8. I had a memory come up in FB , we had 734 days of Covid restrictions in our province. It was gruelling just gruelling . The restrictions ended 2 years ago on the 21st . My son is just starting to recover. A few weeks ago he started laughing and smiling again.
  9. For sure . I have had about 5 and my husband has had 8. I am sure you can remember the one from almost 2 years ago. She isn’t doing herself any favors. She was out driving today to meet with my step sister . I told her to stay home and not watch TV or her phone and just close her eyes.
  10. My mom went to the doctor yesterday and she has soft tissue damage to her shoulders from the seat belt and she has a concussion.
  11. It was horrifying . I don’t know how I got through that day. I have only seen him once since I was 16. It was his mother’s funeral ( my grandmother). I was 35. He is now 69. He is my father’s little brother and only 12 years older than me . I know I was not his only victim. He has been abusing people since he was a child himself.
  12. I am glad I will finally have a voice after 44 years. Hopefully I can help make a difference for people experiencing the justice system. I was treated as the criminal and wasn’t allowed any support in the courtroom at 14. My parents were purposely kept out of the courtroom and they allowed me to be questioned by my own abuser as he was representing himself at discovery. The whole experience brought shame and made me a further target and I was stalked by the person for another 3 years despite having an order of protection/ restraining order that my parents obtained. He would stand just beyond the distance required and nothing could be done . We had to leave the province to get away from his endless harassment .
  13. They returned my email and are willing to start with an initial phone interview in early April.
  14. Thanks for the information. I will keep it in mind for when I am retired and have a lot of time for fundraising.
  15. I am sorry you aren’t feeling well. I am glad you had a great time with your son . It is so so nice to be with our kids . It feels like heaven.
  16. The county health dept has set up an emergency vaccination clinic for measles. I was with my mom yesterday and helped her get her car into the collision repair facility and into her rental car and got her medications and her earring aids cleaned and working . Then had dinner with her and came home . I have pulled a muscle in my back while packing . 🥴
  17. There are two active cases of measles in two adults in our community ( the adjacent civie town)
  18. No, he isn’t wrong and he can’t read minds . If you were interested you should have said so. It is time to get past him.
  19. I can be a big talker in person but it doesn’t make me insecure.
  20. I think I am at the strongest mental state I have ever been in my life. And this is a great opportunity to use it to help others and hopefully make a difference and further empower myself as well. I didn’t get heard all those 4 decades ago in a way I needed to be so maybe now.
