It shouldn't be so complicated but it is.One thing I did want to mention in this post is that a person can even be born with a chemical imbalance,they don't have to go thru a traumatic experience to be that way.I numbed myself along time ago and have had to fight my way back since then.Somethings make me cry some makes me laugh but most time I'm in the middle of them both.I really think in my opinion kids nowadays are fed wrong,ignored and are basically raising theirselves and this is a problem.There is no home structure any more because the parents are just as bad.Misty Pines Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987279242206006833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81397407939379036.post-11678178083264038822012-12-16T07:08:29.471-08:002012-12-16T07:08:29.471-08:00Thank you for your trust in posting this. People ...Thank you for your trust in posting this. People don't understand how hard & expensive it is to get help for those who need it. I do think a lot is dur to family life, parents not able to parent with work schedules. Thats an unfair shortened version of my thoughts but all time and space will allow. Our culture is so lax in morals & exposed to so much violence in game form. , reality has no chanceKatididshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568618127371786808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81397407939379036.post-31784321452127496952012-12-16T05:23:12.613-08:002012-12-16T05:23:12.613-08:00I was raised ina family that believed in keeping t...I was raised ina family that believed in keeping the skeletons in the closet,You didn't say nothing you kept your mouth shut.Only later did my mother say that she thought something was going on and then I felt so betrayed by her.But yet when I said something and it got out in the open I was ousta out of the house.I've been on my own since I was 14 and it was a rough ride.But the point is this kids need guidance and they just are not getting it anymore from the parents.Parents don't have that "family time" for their children.Misty Pines Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987279242206006833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81397407939379036.post-75440728185502853362012-12-15T17:06:54.037-08:002012-12-15T17:06:54.037-08:00Before the very real problem of obtaining good men...Before the very real problem of obtaining good mental health care came the atrocity of ALLOWING someone with severe enough problems of his/her own to traumatize a child from age 5 to 14. What a tremendous uphill battle you have had to wage. You've gone through more than most of us but you seem to have survived as a very intelligent and strong woman. The last statistic I read was that one in every four females is abused before reaching maturity. That means you could go down your blog list, divide it into small groups of four and know one blogger in each group will have experienced abuse as a child.<br /><br />I don't know the problems the shooter in CT had. But I do believe the violence and lack of morals portrayed in the "entertainment" sector of our society today is contributing to a skewed way of looking at life. So many young people are growing up completely lacking a sense of what is right and what is wrong. This isn't something that is classified as or treated as mental illness in most cases. People say it's just the way it is these days.<br /><br />I agree with you totally when you say we must change.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81397407939379036.post-10100938041130620032012-12-15T14:37:00.868-08:002012-12-15T14:37:00.868-08:00Welcome Judy glad to have you here!Welcome Judy glad to have you here!Misty Pines Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987279242206006833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81397407939379036.post-13246023578250104672012-12-15T14:17:41.559-08:002012-12-15T14:17:41.559-08:00Sometimes it takes months to see these doctors it-...Sometimes it takes months to see these doctors it- take a few minutes to get access to a gun if someone has them.Misty Pines Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987279242206006833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81397407939379036.post-69942573820324797982012-12-15T10:59:33.116-08:002012-12-15T10:59:33.116-08:00Thanks for posting this.
