You may feel all alone and helpless...I assure you neither is true... I hope this website has given you some useful information and may this letter help you see that you are not alone.
Serenity Now
I know we have to take the necessary steps to protect our children -- We educate our children-- teach them to respect themselves and others... They should be thanking people who offer them help, apologizing for a wrongdoing, they should respect others property and privacy -- we teach them all this as the grow...
I resent to this day that ALL my jewelry and valuables are locked in a safe deposit box, that my computer requires a multiple password to gain access, that my pocketbook requires me as a bed partner, that my car keys are on a chain around my neck - I still have my child proof locks on my cabinets (Ironically because I thought I would someday be entertaining a grandchild...joke is on me.)
I have no poisonous plants in my home, my home is lead free, radon free (practically sterile- my husband is OCD over cleanliness). My soaps are fragrant free. Dead bolts on the front and back doors, tempered glass on my window, safety guards on the lawn mower.... I am safer than the Pope!!!
Yet, my child is and addict.... Now, I have to lock my medicine cabinets -- hide the key and remember where I hid it???? Its no wonder Alzheimer's is looking good to me ....
I guess what I am saying is -- where are the days when putting dangerous medications and chemicals out of reach was being a good parent -- Now if you don't have dead bolts on your cabinets, you are going to be considered irresponsible???
I just just had to vent ..... Serenity, Courage and Wisdom... Liisa
