well, i am giving up the dog after all.

my baby, doctor doom, has been a part of the wrangling in my divorce. stbex wants to give him to our daughter. she wants to turn him into a therapy dog.

i was dubious about her need for THIS dog. she had a dx of ptsd. but we recently found out that she has epilepsy. she had a head injury as a little kid, around 5. i had no idea until it showed up in neuro-testing. that is when the story came out that her brother had been swinging her around by her feet, and thwacked her into a radiator. her skull was fractured. it was the ultimate "dont tell mom".

this injury turned out to have deformed her growing brain. it was so bad that it affected her physical development. her autonomic system is a mess. she has had one health problem after another her whole life.
she has also battled depression from a young age, which we pretty much chalked up to dealing w her physical problems.

we thought that once the seizures were dealt with, she would be ok.

she recently had another round of neuro-psyche testing.  but it turns out that this bright young lady, who did pretty well in school, even getting into a selective enrollment high school, taking 3 ap classes her senior year, and having a high 3 gpa, has serious learning disabilities!

her processing is impaired, as is her focus. only the fact that her memory is in the highest percentiles got her that far.

she is quite devastated by this news, as am i.  whether she will ever have a normal life is in doubt.

she has had a couple of jobs where they loved her, but eventually her health problems screwed them up. her last job fired her when they found out she had epilepsy. yeah. lawsuit time.

anyway, i really needed the dog in my life this last year. i dont know what i would have done without him. since i thought she was getting better, i had dug in my heels. i also thought that he would be spending too much time alone in an apartment.

but she needs him more than i do now. we are going to send him back to boot camp for more focused training, then we will see about some specialized training, tho he is perfect already at emotional support.

it is a hard pill to swallow. but at least he will stay in my life for the foreseeable future. she just lives 2 doors down, on my farm. he will be able to run around there. he can come here any time she needs him to.

i do have 3 more dogs. his half brother, biff, will fill his spot of the bed pretty well, i think. and my little dogs, banished to the crate at night now because of doctor's grumpiness toward them, can come back and keep my feet warm.

sigh. i hate life some times.

(dear cave dwellers- have a good time w this news, you scum suckers.)
She loves us, she really loves us!
This too shall pass.

Mo, I know you'll read this.

Is this the same daughter whom you adamantly deny physically abusing when she was young, claiming it was her father? Now the culprit was her brother. You need to keep your stories straight.

Your dog is not appropriate for a therapy dog. It's a pet. If your daughter needs a Service Dog for epilepsy, which is entirely appropriate, go to a reputable provider. The dog will also provide your daughter with great comfort for her cognitive and mood disorder(s).

6. i found the attitude so disturbing when dealing w troubled teens.
 
therapy that ingrained one kid's distorted perception that she was severely abused, including regular beatings, broke my relationship with her to this day. 14 years later.

and the worst of it is that it was really her very detached dad's attention that she was angling for.

he was always receptive to tales of bad mommy.

dealing w these people was a nightmare. here i am, my kid's staunch ally, and they cant see it for the distorted tales.

it was pretty plain that the kid had problems, and so they accepted her tales. such a double edged sword that therapeutic acceptance is.

all i really did was pass on the f'ed up genes from my side of the family.

and for all the early intervention, she is just now starting to come to grips w the fact that she could use some help.

She's a liberal and a drug user. She is functionally insane. She's about to go to jail for an urban rat farm, and her own family hates here. Likely she gave her own daughter that injury.

Mo is at the pinnacle of liberal success.

Un-freaking-believable. I can't even imagine not knowing your child has a skull fracture. AND posting it on a stupid website, secondly.

well, i narced out my tenant. leaving the kids home alone while she works.
not a bad person. a home health aid. single mom with 2 sweet boys.
works the graveyard shift and has gone through several roommates to have someone there while the kids are sleeping.
but i know that she has no one now most nights.
then she comes home and sleeps, while the 5 yo is stuck in the house with the shades down.

and she has had the gas turned off since march, meaning no hot water and no cooking gas. i have tried to hook her up with some help, but she is pretty, well, not working it.
microwave cooking, period.

plus, she is just not a good mom. i try to get her to let the little one hang out with me, and she just wont let him.

so, of course, the usually not there roommate turned out to be home tonight when i called the cops to report them home alone.
but she backed me up, and told them that she was leaving at 6, and mom did not get off till 7.
they said they couldnt do anything, but i made it clear that i expected to see the there at 6 am.
sarge is still sitting in front of the house, tho, and talking to dcfs.

fun times. great to be a property owner!

Gee,I wonder why?

Apropos of absolutely nothing, besides being the name of a cartoon/comic villain, "Doctor Doom" is also the the forum name a NE US conservative has used on various discussion forum for some 16+ years that I know of.

Yeah, Big Mo needs illumination about the unhappy fate of dear old sweet Lu, "Lucinda" in the cooking and baking forum.

Alas! poor old dear sweet Lu!

She resided in an isolated hollow of the mountains of western North Carolina-eastern Tennessee, where life tends to be, uh, somewhat rustic.

She got hookworm and was too embarrassed to pull up her dress, yank down her panties, so the doctor could inspect a certain intimate part of her.

So she got eaten alive, from the inside out.

Alas! dear old sweet Lu, who forget that doctors inspect such places all the time, and it's no big deal for them!

More great leftist parenting. Is it any wonder that these people want the state to take care of everything?
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
