Baltimore pictures are up. Angela also has her own version here.
We had a really nice time, and it was wonderful to get three whole days of uninterrupted “us” time. Baltimore wasn’t the greatest city I’ve ever visited but we enjoyed ourselves none the less!
While I know 2001 will be remembered as a bad year by a lot of people, it will always be a very good year for me personally. It was the year Angela and I got married, it was the year I started blogging, which I’ve come to enjoy quite a bit, and the year I…
Pin Something else interests me about grief though and that is the grief that child abuse survivors have because it’s complicated. We aren’t grieving a person we’ve lost, we’re grieving something we never had. A safe, happy childhood or a loving parental relationship that didn’t exist. The lack of any kind of family bonds as an adult, or the inability to trust anyone. Those are things we can, and should, grieve. Often we aren’t given the chance to do that. Other people expect us to “put it behind us” because it was a long time ago. We may even convince ourselves that the best option is to suck it up and forget it, no reason to think about any of that. But, I think there’s a reason to grieve the things we didn’t have as children. They are very real losses. They have very real impacts on our brains and our emotional well-being. We can’t change it now, but we can allow ourselves the freedom to feel grief over it. It’s part of the process.Â
While we all know that I travel quite a bit for work all the time, this week I’m actually headed out of the country, to London, for a few days. So I may be a bit slower than usual to respond to comments, emails, tweets and so forth! On the other hand, I’m hoping to…
I got an email the other day with a sort of throw away comment that bothered me. Not so much in an offensive way, more of a “huh?”. The comment was this “My goal in life is to make everyone happy”. Now that sounds nice, and on first reading it was that sort of self-sacrificing,…
Last night I attended a brief workshop-type class on social networking, as opposed to the computer networking that I usually study. 🙂 Being a typical IT guy, sometimes in social situations I can be a bit awkward, at best. Since I keep reading about most people find jobs through people they know, and since as…

I am doing a report well a bunch of reports on child abuse. I am 12 years old and very very interested in stopping abuse.So all of u people who are with me give me an e-mail and if u have any stories or books on abuse then just e-mail me the titles and stories at blonde_stewy@hotmail.com. thanks for all of your help and lets stop it!!
yes i would like to stop child abuse because it is sad and stupid to see children being abuse. When I did a project on child abuse I felt so sorry for the children who have been abused because they have to deal with the bad situations and the harsh punishment. And that is not the way to handle things not to beat on them . Plus who iis dumb enough to hurt their children like that. That is horrible and very bougs.
I think that child abude is a really bad thing because it hurt really bad. If I was them I would run away because I could not put up with what my parent would be doing to do. I would be really mad and I would run to the poile station and live with my gradma for the rest of my life time.
child abuse is not right
I think that all abuse is wrong and that poeple wh abuse and hurt other have a seriuos problem. They need to get help.I personaly have been abused in every way possible so I know how they all feel.I wish some of the abuser around the world knew how it feels.
I think that child abuse should be stopped! i have custody of one of my granddaughters that was abused by her mother at 5 months so I know waht it is. I think that if people look really look at it they will see that when you could punish your child (a good ass whooping)thre wasn’t as much abuse as there is these days, also the things they are taught in schools about abuse (wrong)I had many stripes as a child on my legs from peach tree limbs and let me tell you it done me good. So I think your wrong when you say you can’t whoop a child. Now a days everything thing is considered child abuse. they take it a little too far. Kids would be alot better off if they could get a spanking without it being abuse. So many parents these days won’t touch a kid because they think they will be locked up. That’s what’s wrong with kids these days that are so out of control and run over the parents cause they know you can’t do a damn thing about it cause they yell abuse so damn much.
