It's hard on everyone. Remember: they need to learn compassion too. Maybe this is the only way. Don't be afraid to remind them that YOU are the center of attention now, not them! :)<br />I have to say that it is so different with a non-brain-damaged child - they nurture, worry, care, rub feet, bring water, etc. It brings out the raw reality of just how disfunctional some of these children act.<br />TeresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063388441482227758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-55155834189236828452010-02-15T20:54:17.112-06:002010-02-15T20:54:17.112-06:00Lisa's comment makes me wonder ... *did* Salin...Lisa's comment makes me wonder ... *did* Salinda believe that getting pregnant would lead to emancipation for her? Having read along for a while, I remember that her goal for several years has been to live someplace else, and I can imagine a teenager in that mindset thinking that having a baby might be her ticket to "freedom."

Salinda has made decisions that you would have never condoned had you any kind of say in the matter - what's done is done though and this is a little taste of reality for her. Not gettin' things the way she wants? Too bad, so sad - it is what it is. My question would be, "What did you really expect would happen when you, as a minor, gave birth to a child?" Automatic emancipation? Happily ever after? Her taking it out on you at any time (but especially now) just shows how immature she truly is. This has nothing to do with HER fitness as a mother, but she better not start bashing your family to get her own way by discrediting you and Bart as parents. <br /><br />Praying for a speedy recovery and continued strength for YOU!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-25539549807984850042010-02-15T15:59:20.688-06:002010-02-15T15:59:20.688-06:00Dear Old B****,
