Hey CG,

Just a short one for now because I'm having trouble processing this. :evil:

Have you thought at all about working with abused kids?  I bet you could provide a lot of hope, experience, and warmth to these kids.

Hi Wildflower,

I see you're on the board, so I antd to say  :D  :D  :D . and how ya' doin'?
Didn't get to read through your post over there on Portia's thread, but I'll get to it. So anyway, as I was saying, how ya' doin'?

I don't think I could work with abused kids, 'cause I get way too hostile and emotional. Ive got friends who do, and it very demanding, and you need to be able to shut-off, when you come home to your own family. I think I would find that too hard to do. I do try to do my bit at times, like creating awareness in places where I think the more influential and level-headed should and can have an impact. That's why I send E-mails and that sort of thing. And donate. I'm pretty big on donating where I can.

And in my own circles, I try my best. Like with my friend, you know the tall one. I had a chat with her yesterday. That was good. I told her about a book I read about not shouting or spanking, and she asked a few meaningful questions. Slowly slowly though.  :D I bought it for my H to read, but he hasn't read it yet, just parts. he got most of the info from me anyway. He's on-side now though on the issue, so that's good.



(((HIGS))) and take care,

CG

Howdy CG :D :D :D

I'm doin' good.  Went to a party tonight hosted by one of my friends and I actually had a blast talking with a bunch of people I'd never met. :shock:  :shock:  :shock: What's going on??? :D :D

How are you?  How's all that work goin?  How many bites of the elephant have you taken?  Have you ever been to Neptune?  Want me to keep asking questions?  :D :D :D

I can see what you mean about getting too involved and taking it home if you worked with abused kids.  A friend of mine used to work for a crisis hotline and yeah, it was pretty wearing for her.  She loved it, but I could also tell how tired it made her.  She'd get droopy when she talked about it - which she couldn't do much of, of course.  Privacy and all that.

Maybe I'll sniff around to figure out if there are some ways I can help out around here.  I'm really big on putting stuff back into the community - and there are lots of needs in mine.  Hmmm.

That's great that you had a chat with your tall friend.  Very promising that she asked questions and you were able to recommend a book.  Wow, you and your H really are talking.  :D That's great.  One piece at a time, hunh?

I actually think you should think about the sisters programme some more. Imagine if you had of had that. One person can make such a difference to one child'd life.

Yeah.  I've been thinking about this for a long, long time.  Getting emotionally ready, I think.  I said before that it hadn't occurred to me to worry about a kid's safety in terms of sexual abuse, but it has occurred to me to worry about being abusive instead of helpful to a kid I want to support.  Another way of saying I wanted to make sure I could end my own cycle and not pass it on to kids in need.

But I trust myself more now, thanks to this board.  And from hearing people talk, and from getting to the bottom of what stunk about growing up without a voice, I think I really could offer another kid the kind of support they need - to just be a kid.  And yeah, I think I'd get a lot out of it, too (give me a good excuse to do all the kid stuff I'm technically too old to do hahahaha :D).
