I am Melissa Wescott...........
I am the much hated and judged Mom ...never imagined I would type that.
I have started this blog,because I am tired of reading the the most judgemental,ill informed, maladjusted comments and blogs.
I have read blogs from all over,from all types. It never ceases to amaze and frustrate me.I have read the spew of hate,and ignorance.
I have also read the sadness and frustration of those who have walked in our shoes or who know those who have.
Honestly,3 years ago...I know for a fact... I would have been just as hateful,just as loud in my opinions and just as judgemental.
No,that does not make me a saint,nor does it ease the hurt that word turds inflict.
This will be my blog,my words,my thoughts,my life.
If it does not interest you,...goodbye...please leave..simple as that.
If you want to learn more from my muddled ramblings,sit back...read my blog,comment on my blog,share what you think.
If you have a statement,an opinion..question... I will answer it.
I have never blogged before..believe me,I've always had plenty to say,, just nothing I felt was important enough to post for the world to read and judge.
I type in like I talk, I do not a lot of times monitor what flies out of my mouth.
Like I said,this is about my real life...
if I offend...I will apologize now..I'm sorry..
but I will not apologize for saying the RADical Truth!
This is Tracy...I'm one of Shadawn's foster/adoptive friends. Just wanted to say welcome to the blog world. I understand. I have a Raddish child. I understand DHS and their "policies". You are not alone. Hope you can join us for dinner sometime!
ReplyDeleteI would love to!! If you have any suggestions..let me know,lol
ReplyDeleteI'm just sick and tired of being made the villian.
So I'm going to open up and and not just read the hateful,hurtful junk.
Shadawn is so wonderful. :)
Thank you for my 1st comment :)
I'm Kellye, another of Shadawns friends. We have a Raddish too. We are fortunate that she is non-violent. But we do deal with the lying, stealing, disrespect, distrust and bullying siblings daily. Please ignore all the hateful, hurtful people who have never walked in your shoes. You are not alone, there are many of us out here who stand to support you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteI have tried to ignore the majority,knowing in my heart that they have read a snippet somewhere,a small glimpse into our lives.Most of which we asked to be with held,as we were still shell shocked and just could not deal with what our son had done.And yes,we tried to get him help and gave our all in support and LOVE.
But his dis-ease has progressed to the point he is now dangerous.And truly has been ,we just did not want to face it.
I know that the bleeding hearts who hate and look down on us,would not feel the same if they had been through what we have been through,their thought would be the same as ours..He needs more help,stablity and round the clock care than we can give.And a child with ''simple RAD'' also needs that same care of sorts.
Thank you for posting!!It brings me to tears to know there are people who care,
