Re: resoures for younger people

November 28, 2011

I want to thank you all for your input and suggestions. I will look for both

books. I had heard of " An Umbrella for " But the other one " Just Because

You're Big, You Think You're Right " is a new one to me. I was really looking for

one that gives me some insight and ideas about how I can help my son with things

as they come up. I feel like it is my job as his mom to look at all these things

and filter them into digestable bits for him. He is only twelve and tho he is

very independent, he did JUST lose his daddy.

I wrote about the incident between me and nada that happened on Thanksgiving

evening in my Post titled " REALLY!?!? You want to do this NOW? " In one of the

follow up posts under the same thread I spoke of the incident relating to my son

that happened the next morning... Sadley, he was there and he heard what nada

said. :-( and tho he didn't let on that he heard her at the time, his feellings

were hurt. That any grandmother would put her own desires above her grandchilds,

during such a short visit, is sad, but for a grandmother to do this mere days

after her ONLY biological grandchilds father died is just reprehensible.

My son and I did talk about nadas temper tantrum and unkind words for a little

while yesterday morning. I am a lover of analogies and I basicly told him that

nada has a sickness of the mind that make her perceptions of what is going on

around her like looking into fun house mirrors. That we have healthy minds that

see things mostly in a clear manner, but nada has been viewing the world as

reflected in a fun house mirror and tho we know that how she intrerprets what

she sees isn't true or fact, that SHE truly believes what she sees in those

mirrors.

We also discussed how nada was very whiney about him wanting to play his video

games and how now that he is older that nada will not be as happy with him

because she can't just do any old thing with him that pleases HER.

Much love to all of my KO family, You have been great. Carla
