I am Lovable and Capable Part lll: How to Stop Your Sign From Ripping

By Julie May 15, 2008 3:21pm 2 Comments

JulieC

I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

All is NOT Fair in Love and War

CSR

It is OK to argue and even to be angry at your partner. In fact, this dynamic is an essential part of any equal and satisfying relationship. When we express a difference of opinion or we adamantly disagree with our mate we are creating an opportunity for negotiation, compromise and resolution. When we emerge on the other side of an argument in ...

Mommy Melt-Down in Aisle 3

By Chrissy May 12, 2008 11:55pm 22 Comments

HelloChrissy

You’ve seen it a million times. Market Melt-downs. Little kids just seem prone to melt-downs in the market. They’re common, accepted and rarely avoidable. But this past week, it wasn’t my kids that had the melt down, it was me. Yep, a mommy melt down in aisle 3.

Recently, I had no choice but to do my major weekly market ...

Awaking in a dark room
Tears rolling down my eyes
I take a look around the room
and listen for any signs.
No friends, No family, no one by my side
I begin to cry once more.
And you know that its not fair
When you turn and they're not there
And your lying all alone
Wishing for that dream to come
And you know its just today
tomorrow wont be the same
And you know it'll be gone tomorrow

Friday, May 16, 2008

So you sit,
and you wait,
but your down again.
And you cry just a little.
You decide you don't want to be down anymore,
and you rise, but you fall
and you keep falling.. deeper and deeper,
into the dark pit that consumes you.
When you look for a shoulder to cry on,
everyone turns and fades away.
Your alone.
Again.

Last night sucked. Z was in a fine mood at 101 degrees...went to sleep at 7.
Oddly, he's been spitting up at night...C says it's reflux? Not sure I understand that, but it's made it hard to give him tylenol to bring down temp when he's just gong to throw it up.
Anyway, we went out to get a bite to eat...came home and he was hot and retching. Put him on the toilet, as he hasn't pooped in 2-3 days,...

Family Issues Information

A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict, misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur continually, leading other members to accommodate such actions. Children sometimes grow up in such families with the understanding that such an arrangement is normal. Dysfunctional family members have common symptoms and behavior patterns as a result of their common experiences within the family structure. This tends to reinforce the dysfunctional behavior, either through enabling or perpetuation. The family unit can be affected by a variety of factors.

There are common prototypes for dysfunction. Family heads under-function, providing few boundaries and little guidance. Their children are left to fend for themselves. Others are inconsistent or violate basic boundaries of appropriate behavior. Family members may then have profound difficulties both with their own conduct, and their ability to deal with others.

Frequently, the dysfunctional family stems from alcoholism. The problems created tend to be chronic, and are passed down generation to generation. Even if abuse of alcohol ends, the family system created may continue in the children of the children.
