Its so very sad, the stuff we hide or sweep under the mat will never be healed until we discuss it openly.  Some on this site are wounded souls and would prefer this subject be dropped FAST. My heart goes out to the wounded soul in every child. We see the pain in a smile...... this sadness needs to be exposed to the light and then miracles will happen. Fear not the consequences. The things I feared the most, were never half as bad as I thought they would be.
Just a few thoughts after God Save Our Kids
Like Ed says:
Your topic is a very real and serious subject that doesn't get enough press or gov't input sadly.
The sooner we learn compassion the sooner our lives will change. Here is something special to help us on our way.
CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE by Dorothy Nolte
If a child lives with criticism, He learns to condemn
If a child lives with ridicule, He learns to be shy
If a child lives with shame, He learns to feel guilty
If a child live with fairness, He learns justice
If a child lives with security, He learns to have faith
If a child lives with approval, He learns to like himself
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence
If a child lives with tolerance, He learns to have patience
If a child lives with praise, He learns to appreciate
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship
He learns to find love in the world

 This blog is awesome  allot of my life I was taught NOT to open up and share my feelings because as a child we were told to keep things hidden so others wouldn't know that our family wasn't like other family's..my daughters were raised differently they were raised to love...we never hang up the phone without saying I LOVE YOU...my grandkids are the same way...most times, at least for me I CANT HEAL unless I open up and talk. Thank you for posting this blog   Kudo to you my dear

I can say...that i was raised red-neck.....and i didnt know any better at the time that what i thought to be true and real.... wasnt......so as a young single parent....ive always taught my kids to think for themselves but always to look at the big picture...... and what ive found out about watching them both grow......is the fact that this new generation has to grow up in a diffrent world than i did.....the same things are just not true anymore......im not saying..that some of those red-necked values didnt ring true every now in then...but the fact that what once worked in this world...will not in the next.......  ....cookie

Too true, the kids Mark Twain in the Adventures of Tom Sawyer were much worse off. It was only after he wrote about the appalling treatment of children that the authorities provided a bit of protection for them.... not much, however.
Thanks for reading

from my mother we lived with criticism, shame, and guilt, and it affected me and my brother and sisters in ways that we weren't even aware of, or that we could see or admit about ourselves. I was the first in my family to confront and speak up for us all to her after I once sobered up and took a deep, thoughtful, and eye-opening look inside of myself. a brother followed and he got and still stays sober, one sister died because of her drug use, and my younger sister is well on her way to follow her, and I worry about her and how she uses drugs. she won't forgive our mother who is now 87 yrs old and lives in a retirement home. my sister won't call her, won't visit her, or have anything to do with her, even on holidays or birthdays. I can talk with my siblings about how it was growing up with mother now, and mostly thru my telling them what I learned in my soberity we all have a clearer understanding of how we were all damaged by a selfish, controlling, and judgemental woman that was our mama. my brother is 10 yrs older than me and he still wrestles with how he was affected, my sister just doesn't care anymore. after my dad died, we all tried to do for mother, but nothing we ever did was good enough for her and she always wanted all of our complete attentions. I was the one who told her that she wasn't just the one who lost someone, a husband, but her children lost their father too, and we all had our own lives to live yet without having to constantly worry about what we could do to make her happy. just saying how true this blog is from my perspective and I'm sure that I still am affected in ways that sometimes make me not a very nice person to always be around during certain circumstances. I don't do guilt anymore.

i notice...
not once have the right wingers commented on my blogs about the protection of children even tho they have seen my posts, but they are quick to run down women who have had to and will continue to have abortions. how vicious and cruel they are?
to any women who has had an abortion, its ok doll  ... dont allow these self-righteous morons’ attacks on MD to get you down.
do they really care.... NO! are they too loud... YES!
anyway i dont want the likes of wing nut, supremefool or any right fighters on my blogs unless its to learn... right now they are incapable of compassion and perhaps all of them need a huge test to wake them up to it.
