I still have my moments, when i forget to take my meds, then i get stubborn. But eventually i take them and i get better. Sometimes its just not having the money to get my meds and sometimes I just don't wanna go get them when I get depressed. My daughters remind me when i start getting out of hand. The remind me in a non-offensive way that I need my meds. that usually works. -

I have moved in with my daugher and four grandkids. This is the best decision I have made in years. Now that I am sober and stronger emotionally, i decided to help my daughter with the children while she goes back to school. She has wanted to be a sign language translator in education.
I told her I will give her two years of my time, I cannot give her money for her education but I can give her wha...1 Recommendation -

Hard to believe that our soldiers are not safe anywhere! What and when will we learn that we are being attacked overseas and on our own homeland. Bring them home and protect our borders and check/watch who is already here. Unreal!~1 Recommendation

Crystallised glaciers melt,
Butterflies dance,
Above the golden sheaves of wheat, their wings,
Tinted with different shades of dyes.
Subtle, elegant
Irresistible.
Birds warble, their merry voices echoing,
The sizzling sphere smiles, amused
Supervising the events from its elected position.
My silhouette uncurls, to the foyer, which
Heralds this natural beauty
Serenity is shattered,

If only breifly so I can catch my breathe.
Life moves right along. If I stop to breath, I might get pushed off this merry go round. Always something to do, seems like a break is impossible at times. It does get stressful to say the least. Too many irons in the fire. This morning it was up at 5 again to get the boys to the neighbor and come to work. Since they changed ...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

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.
