I do NOT want to be Job...I can't be Job. What exactly is the purpose of trying to do good by giving a child hope and life only to have it destroy the entire family?" <br />Then I read this....<br />http://www.studyinbrown.com/writing/2010/10/13/a-song-almost-heard.html<br />Not sure it helped me or if it will help you...I haven't decided yet.Brenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932787965969894963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347324365882583578.post-75898155789682590022010-11-03T10:55:54.593-07:002010-11-03T10:55:54.593-07:00Show me a child/adult who can't care and I'...Show me a child/adult who can't care and I'll show you a sociopath. Now, not all sociopaths kill or end up in jail, but what kind of lives do they lead? Do they experience joy? Do they have dreams and ambitions? Do they love? Do they raise families? We have got to do better than to just "accept" that our kids are incapable of caring. How about this - if it's documented that a child cannot care, cannot function at minimal standards of life due to mental illness, then when that child grows up, insurance companies HAVE to provide them with adult foster care for the REST OF THEIR LIVES. If that were the case, I think ins. companies would be a little more willing to shell out the money when the kids are younger, and might have a better chance of benefiting from services. But, as long as they can get away with doing nothing, nothing will change.<br /><br />I hear you Integrity Singer, I am living your journey as well, just a little farther down the road than you are so far (mine are 16 and 17). I have to tell you, you develop "garbage radar" after awhile and you know pretty quickly whether something will work or the professional you get is really the best one for your child. It saves a bunch of time in the long run, but does it help your child? probably in some ways, but not in the way we would like.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347324365882583578.post-67826652637412472852010-11-03T09:21:03.412-07:002010-11-03T09:21:03.412-07:00Your comment:

The reality of that comment hits hard. It hurts. It is my life, your life and the life for so many reading this post.<br /><br />You keep pressing on because you have no choice. I understand that so well. I don't have words of encouragement or even suggestions. I just wanted you to know that I am here with you and willing to lend my shoulder for tears or a cool little foam bat if you feel the need to "bash" out a therapy session :)Brandy-new rad momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312863176518999375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347324365882583578.post-80804841578410729432010-11-03T05:50:26.432-07:002010-11-03T05:50:26.432-07:00My heart breaks for you.
