I'm sure there are plenty of kids with similar stories in your area. It is very sad the effects of immoral living, interchangeable partners and self-serving adults on the children that are produced by such relationships.
I know this is my fantasy-world, but wouldn't it be good if birth parents, prior to being able to have children, had to answer as many questionnaires, background checks, interviews, etc. as adoptive parents must? I get so sick and sad when I am at a store and see how some parents treat their children. I could not do your job.
If I baked a cake, it'd try to take over.
Not as painful for me as having to read some of the *cough* 'literature' my old English teacher had us read.
Ah, understood.
I honestly don't remember how many threads we ran through before doing the combined thread.
And, as the combined thread, we really do have the longest running series since the combined thread can claim the heritage of both thread runs.
*chuckle*
It's a real balancing act sometimes. You really want to help the parents be more effective at parenting their kids. Some of them really work at it and really turn things around. Then there are others you just want to b*tch slap for the things they put their kids through.

Some people may be genetically programmed to be unfaithful, a scientist claims.
Professor Tim Spector, of the Twin Research Unit at St Thomas's Hospital, London, says sutdies of twins suggest a genetic component to infidelity.
If one of a pair of women twins has a history of infidelity, the chances her sister will also stray are about 55 per cent, he claims.
And the tendendy for the pair to be either faithful of unfaithful is strongest in identical twins, who have the same genes, he says.
In general he claims the proportion of women as a whole who are unfaithful to their partners is around 23 per cent.
He stresses that genes alone do not make someone unfaithful, as social factors play an important role.
But he says it makes good evolutionary sense to get a good mix of genes - so women may choose a better option if one comes along.
He also thinks it unlikely that infidelity is down to just one gene.
"But there are likely to be genes that participate in it, a number of genes working together," he told BBC Online
I wonder about Spector's method of research. Did he ask each of the married twins in hos study to sleep with him?
There is NO "Justification" for such an act of Barbarism.
To "Broadcast" such Despicable Behavior is Tantamount to "Approval!!"
ANY Rational Human Being would have attempted to STOP such Barbarity; to Simply "Film It" is an act of SUCH COWARDICE--or Complicity--that the "Recorder" MUST BE CONSIDERED "Part of the ACT!!"
The SCUM, the Utterly, unspeakable subhuman slime who Murdered that man (& Filmed it & Showed It) DO NOT DESERVE a "Place" at ANY "Table of Discussion" about the "FATE" of ANYONE.
Quite The Contrary;--ANYONE who has Performed such an act has IMMEDIATELY DISENFRANCHISED ANY they "Purport to Speak For!!"
In SHORT, the "Iraqui's" HAD BETTER FIND a CIVILIZED VOICE--FAST, or-- seeing the Barbarism of their "Fellows,"--, Americans will regard ANY, Disgusting, Genocidal Fate Visited on the Iraqui People as "Self-Inflicted By Ignorance!!"
It's TIME that the Iraqi People DEMONSTRATED Their Potential for SOME SEMBLANCE of CIVILIZATION.
The Iraqi People NEED TO DEFINE which "ACTS" are "IN THEIR NAME--" & Which acts are NOT "In Their Name!!"
The "Prospect" now Exists that there IS an "Independant Iraqi People.
The "Iraqi People can NOW repudiate--Permanently--the actions of "Barbarians."
If NOT, they are welcome to the coming "Nuclear Winter."
"Islam" will NOT "Rule the World,"--EVER.
Doc
oops! hos = his (not the plural of ho)
......Westy....
Do you know anything about Lexapro?
It's a sacrifice for science...
Nope. Nothing.
Thank you do fell the Serotonins help?
BIG time.
Hello Doc. Touche' in your post 169.
But, I also hold Kerry and his campaign and his 527's responsible for the beheadings. Once again, Kerry is giving the enemy aid, comfort and confidence by insisting that President Bush is not handling the war of terrorism in Iraq well.
Guess I'll wander off into the sunset once again..
Goodnight all...
.....Westy......
And are you going to turn up the electric blanket a couple of notches tonight?
