Friday, November 20, 2009
This is a song I wrote about living with an unstable, neurotic, mentally ill mother. While my situation is certainly better than a lot of others, it still has its really tough moments that can be hard to handle. This is a few years old now, but it still represents the situation well. I wanted to share it with all of you. Please enjoy and comment.

Work has been really busy, but very productive. This is my busy season, what we call "fire season." November into February. The month of December, I will probably get a fire a day. I will be out on the road a lot. I typically get more fires those months than the whole rest of the year combined. I did receive a little bit of a break the last few weeks ...

2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
We should always let Gods light shine through us for others to see!! When we see someone in need and we are able to help we should step up and do what we can. We never know who is an angel so we should be this way with all people who know God and...1 Recommendation -

Family Issues Information
A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict, misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur continually, leading other members to accommodate such actions. Children sometimes grow up in such families with the understanding that such an arrangement is normal. Dysfunctional family members have common symptoms and behavior patterns as a result of their common experiences within the family structure. This tends to reinforce the dysfunctional behavior, either through enabling or perpetuation. The family unit can be affected by a variety of factors.
There are common prototypes for dysfunction. Family heads under-function, providing few boundaries and little guidance. Their children are left to fend for themselves. Others are inconsistent or violate basic boundaries of appropriate behavior. Family members may then have profound difficulties both with their own conduct, and their ability to deal with others.
Frequently, the dysfunctional family stems from alcoholism. The problems created tend to be chronic, and are passed down generation to generation. Even if abuse of alcohol ends, the family system created may continue in the children of the children.
