Amazing also that a child who can't remember to put her garbage in the garbage can, can recall every one of the above mentioned kind of words at the slighest unexisting provocation. My daughter isn't physically abusive, but can rip my heart to shreds in 3 seconds flat with words. Some days I just want to crawl in a hole and never come out. Then I remember, "My grace is enough". I join in giving thanks to all those who are our helpmeets in this fantastic journey we've embarked upon. Two are better than one. How we need you!PurlingPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366627261132776306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223340564696735596.post-33755861766836587812012-02-21T19:37:14.121-06:002012-02-21T19:37:14.121-06:00Our FASD 15 year old called his new male gym teach...Our FASD 15 year old called his new male gym teacher a lesbian, in anger, last week. The rather foolish teacher decided totake it personally and try to punish him...the whole situation needed some strong parental and spec ed consultant support to intervene. A comment like that in our house gets 0 response (although, I will admit, some laughter between my husband and I later)but it's so hard to get everyone on the same page. I think we could have a contest along the lines of the best worst insults ever.

What would we do without them? They are our angels.<br /><br />Toots assaulted a staff member on the hospital unit last night. It's not the first time--in the past she has injured staff badly enough for them to go to the ER. We know it's in no way our fault, but we still feel awful about it.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651766527624370566noreply@blogger.com
