    *lol With cuts in staff thete is no one to go with you. Do you want to pay for the discupline? Ehich means funsing for staff? It takes time to accompany children to become responsible and indeprndent adults.And its a good mix of letting kids make their own choices, face their own, short term consequences and support them in not having to face long term consequences of bad momentary decisions.

    Wow, I thought I was just a piece of garbage because my mom didn't like me either. I ruined it for her to join the army. She told me that I was a problem child because I talked a lot and that if I didn't shape up she'd put me up for adoption at 8 yrs old. That kinda sticks with you. I'm so sorry that anyone would have to feel like that. Prayers thoughts and love going out to you.

    OMG she chose to have unprotected sex so there are consequences for that. She seem to have it really bad. It must be extremely difficult growing up in this household. I grew up in a home like this but i got it worst cuz i wasnt pretty like all her kids. Life got better after i got older but the permanent traumas never left me. I am damage but i try making a better life for my child. I didnt want to be the monster like my parents to me to my child. I feel bad for her but she is a survivor.

    I was second born, the first was my sister we are a year and a half apart. My Mother would rub in my face that my Father came to the hospital to see my sister with roses, but since I was a girl he didn't even show up. Then my brother was third and he was the king and finally my baby sister was born, the baby of the family. I was told I killed my brother in the womb that she was supposed to have had a boy, she always resented me, told me I was adopted or I was switched at birth real stupid stuff. I haven't spoken to my mother or siblings in years, Dad died 23 years ago and I wasn't included in the family much after that, so it hurts but you have to walk away and save your sanity I'm 57 and I can't do it anymore and it took awhile but I know I'm important and loved by the people who want me in their lives.

    My mom told me the same when I was around 13. She never wanted me or any of us kids. She said she threatened my dad to have me at home so there would be no record of my birth and she could give me away without anyone knowing (I sometimes think give me away really meant k_ll me). To be fair, I was her third in three years and my mom was only 19 when I was born. By the way, she told me this in response to me asking if I was adopted because my original birth certificate had a different first name, and my baptism certificate had a different birth date. She started with “Adopted?! Why would I adopt you? I wanted to get rid of you!” and after explaining her plan to give me away ended with making me feel stupid because “you change the last name when you adopt someone, not the first name.” I’m 60 and I remember everything about that conversation. It was life-changing for me.

    • @ellengrace4609
      @ellengrace4609 Před 6 dny

      @@TheGameofLifeTrueStories Thank you. I eventually came to terms with it, mostly because I started to see my mother as just a person instead of my mother. She didn’t have superhuman powers. I can’t imagine having three kids by 19 and four by 22. She saw her kids as a constant reminder of her “mistakes” and believed we ruined her life. What’s really sad is she lived her entire adult life in just that way, as if her life had been ruined. She was miserable and could not find genuine happiness in anything. I guess that’s how she helped me. I recognized early on what a waste it was to live like that and I typically find happiness in the smallest things. I also realized, though much later in life, how growing up without love and affection had impacted my romantic relationships. My mother and father NEVER kissed or hugged us kids. I craved that affection all my life - still do - which made me extra vulnerable to men. Even the littlest sign of affection and they had me completely in the palm of their hands. Ironically, or maybe fatefully, I married a man who was completely non affectionate. He passed 7 years ago. Even at my age, I still crave that affection. I will need to watch the whole video on Karen as I’m guessing we have a lot in common. I’m sure there are many out there with similar experiences.

I've never been more successful! As a bonus, I get to hang out with my kids and not miss them growing up. I also dropped 25lbs and BP has normalized!
