WE WILL RESIST

  WE WILL RESIST https://youtu.be/yxnmBHLqOyw I will never understand why red blooded Americans choose to get their news from only one foreign source rather than the myriad of American media outlets? They seem to have come to believe that an alleged bigoted tyrant from Australia (Rupert Murdoch) will tell them the truth rather than brainwashing them into believing what he wants them to believe, similar to Russia, China, Iran, N. Korea, et al. Would these same people listen only to Hitler had they lived in 1930s Germany? As an aside, I also read and listen to Canadian and British news sources, among others, for a more worldly view.  I’ve said this before, that those who should read this won’t, and that I post not for them, but for that one person who will relish in the fact that there is someone who thinks and believes as they do. The rest can scroll on by.  There is one thing missing from the following treatise. It does a wonderful job equating how American and European w...

CAN I CRY NOW?

Image
As an adoptee, you may begin your life with abandonment issues, fight/ flight or freeze challenges, a lack of mirroring while growing up and the knowledge that "everybody leaves" which can affect your behaviors and feeling of self worth throughout your life.  💜 Can I Cry Now? By Pamela A. Karanova - Finding Purpose In The Pain, An Audible Memoir   Written in 2015.  ✍🏼   When I searched for my birth mother I was all alone, with no support or guidance. There was no help. Can I cry now? My adoptive mom told me my birth mother loved me “So Much. that’s why she gave me away ” but when I found her she didn’t want to know me. Can I cry now? Never in a million years would I expect the woman that loved me “SO MUCH” to reject me… Can I cry now?

AMERICA - THE REAL HISTORY https://youtu.be/1kgOuDZ-Ajg https://youtu.be/K2qeQlcC4ng https://youtu.be/GrW47CIbu38 https://youtu.be/J5MSrmD5lL8 https://youtu.be/jh8ar53IbmU No, Donald, there are not very fine people on both sides. Name one MAGA Republican who can hold a candle to Mr. John Wick. (Pun Intended) “He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia. And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; one cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $ 20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank ac...

A TRAUMATIZED CHILD

Image
  (1). I am not sure who wrote this, but I can relate. My adopted parents love to tell the story of going to a resort in the country when I was a toddler, like 2 or 3 years old. An elderly couple seated at our same table (communal dining) told my parents they were upset seeing a small child at their table and feared tantrums. They were so amazed how instead I was “well behaved,” didn’t “fuss” and was such a “good boy.” So impressed they were, they inquired about my initials. They owned a jewelry store and sent me a gold ring with my initials. “My adoptive parents always bragged about me being such a "good baby" - I didn't fuss, slept through the night, did as I was told, etc.  They also like to remind me, even at my 41 years of age, what a "difficult teenager," I was. Angry outburts, running away, drugs, etc.  But how often are the labels of "good" or "bad" mistakenly placed on adoptees who are responding to trauma by freezing, fawning, fight...
