Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“When a family strongly disapproves of who you love, how do you decide whose voice to listen to?”
Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.
- onGrowing up, I used to think my mom, Norma Jean, failed me in a hundred different ways. And I suppose, in some relatively minor ways, maybe she did.byHonihen...
this is beautiful. my mother gave me neither a grand philosohy or tools. she was an amazing gardener but i wasnt allowed in the garden. she taught me that nice girls dont make waves and God only loves you if you’re perfect.... - onHow do others navigate the quiet grief of family estrangement while continuing to move forward with purpose?by
Thank you. My family's betrayal was as epic as The Truman Show (from my POV) and has been my albatross for too long. I've isolated for almost a decade, and last year I began to mend those fences and re-integrate, at least with my children which are the only "blood" I care to keep... - Minnie...
In high school I participated in Forensics and did expressive African American poetry and short stories. My principal at the time recommended to my mother I try this, as I was super shy and an only child.... - Minnie...
Prepare for school bedtime routine before school starts. Read together. Talk about no bullying others. Talk about respecting others. Be an active parent in your child's life by showing interest and helping your child.... - onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope my experiences can help others. 😀byjohnpaul156...
My issue is lack of family interaction. They resent my former years of I'll temper and have nothing to do with me. I seek small groups of believers who avoid Christian religion in favor of bringing God's Kingdom to Earth through the work of ecclesias.... - onI'm visiting my family this weekend and staying in my parents' home. I always appreciate spending time with them. But it's also hard seeing them struggle with health issues. I wish I could do more to help them. They're the type to medicate first, which isn't my preferred first course of action. My suggestions often fall on deaf ears. They've developed their ways of being over years and while I don't always agree with these ways, I accept who they are and continue to offer ways to support them.by
Maybe, just maybe suggestions are not what your parents need or want from you. I'm 70 and my health issues run the gambit...heart attack, several mini strokes, one major stroke, COPD, knee replacements, hip and back surgery, diabetic and the list goes on.... - onI keep coming up against people who don't understand that there were 75 some million people who voted for what's happening in America & in the world right now. My fellow progressives & people on the left have become a bit too angry at all of them, as if millions of people are just going to disappear once things are being run rationally again. We can't hate all of them. I suspect there's at least 20 million wives who had to vote for Trump or else & are probably brainwashed to some extent or another. There's another 25 million who just go along with what everybody around them is doing & never had an original thought in their lives. It actually is beyond me. How many people ended up voting for him.bySassiebrat67...
Exactly. Like RED or BLUE is the end all. You wouldn't believe all the family whom no longer speak to me because I CANNOT, as a human, as a mother, support this administration. Their policies go against ALL my values.... Hello, Bubbles! It certainly seems that you have a powerful story to share! The manner in which relationships are forged during times of immense pain is such an incredible truth, and the relationship with your sister is a perfect example of it.... - Bubbles 59...
To write a book
I’ve been telling everyone how I plan to write a book based loosely on my life with a cancer ridden sister - how we’re so close again but the trials to get here were difficult. There’s good stuff in the mess of my brain & chat gtp is encouraging. I have nothing but time.... - onHi I'm Robert from Northern California. I've lived all around the State. I was born in Los Angeles and lived in Sacramento. I have enough life experience for three people.byDebradrs...
You were dangerous like my son. My son however was less troublesome, he would never have pulled an alarm and would have told you not to. He had strong lessons in right and wrong....
