Yup I'm bragging too, I have been dating for the past two weeks the most beautiful, wonderful woman I have ever met. She is compasionate, thoughtful, intelligent and makes me forget my name. She has the ability to make me forget the others before her. Whoa.    =)

Heh, I just hope that everything comes through...in this kind of research, there's so many glitches that can come up along the way...but I'm keeping my fingers crossed :grin

I dont know that i'd want to "brag" exactly but there so many different things that i should count my blessings about the list would be to long to fit on the board.

Im glad to be able to drive again, and im glad i know that i CAN feel better. For a long time i thought one or both might not be possible.

Im glad i also know that i can love somone without pushing them away somehow, at least not intentionally. I think i've always pushed most everyone , at least in the last say 6-7 years in one way or another. Its scary but its a nice feeling.

I'm glad two of mine friends are still with us and have found some meaning in their lives. I'm proud of another friend for finally getting "straight". If i had any small influence on that i feel great.

Ok , i guess if i start listing off all the accomplishments of my friends ill not be answering the question properly... *shuts up*

When my son was 7, he was diagnosed as bi-polar. They gave him 4 different types of meds, 2 of which caused him to hear voices that laughed at him and told him to kill himself. He was put into a psych ward. Over the period of 1 year, he was in and out of the psych ward 7 times. Throughout this period, I started reading about Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's is a mild form of autism, and usually the person with it excels in a particular area. My son knows a ton about computers, and had never been taught any of it.

Well, he had a psychologist that I wasn't comfortable with. She was always 20 minutes or more late for our appointments, never apologizing for it. She was also impossible to get an appointment with. We had gone through 3 (Three....the magic number) sets of furniture in less than one year, and it was because of Ian's frustration at not being understood and a large impulsivity issue. We went to see his psychologist one Tuesday, after he had broken the footrest off of my grandfather's recliner and drew perfect red stars all over it with a Sharpie. This woman was not only 25 minutes late (again), typically unapologetic. I told her that I wanted to be referred to a new psychologist because of the constant lateness, and she began the paperwork. She asked me what has been going on, and I proceeded to tell her about the chair.

She asked Ian to step outside into the waiting room. She then looked me right in the eye and had the nerve to say:

"I don't think that you love your son."

:blink

Here is my reply to her, word for word. Some things, you just never, ever forget:

"If I didn't love Ian, I would let him run the streets and destroy other people's shit. If I didn't love him, I wouldn't have come to each and every doctor's visit or lost my job because I was at the hospital every day, meeting with inflexible case workers."

She repeated what she said. And then, I lost it on her. I said:

"Look, bitch. You get cracking NOW on those transefer papers. You're a fucking quack who doesn't know MY son. You haven't been helpful from the word go. Get these fucking papers done so my son doesn't have to see you anymore. IF I ever see you walking the street, you ARE my personal speed bump. I love both of my kids more than life itself. I would take a bullet for them. I would give them any part of me so that they would have the life that they deserve. YOU DON'T KNOW US."

She finished the transfer papers, and then told me that she was going to spend some time with him. I firmly said NO, and that we were leaving. We went upstaris with the transfer papers, and I basically demanded that the receptionist pass my info to the bitch's boss.

The reason for this story: I fought for my son. I've always fought for my kids. I will ALWAYS fight for my kids. They deserve everything and more. I will never, ever quit fighting for their rights. I fought for his right to be re-tested for Asperger's, and succeeded. And I was right all along....

I never could gleek on purpose. I suck...

[SomeDanGuy]

Whoa gleeking! That takes me back to grade school. I ould never do it =(

[soothsayer]

Gleeking, is that what it's called? We just called it spitting. When I was in school some asshole kid was good at that and tried to "gleek" me all the time. So one day I took one of my class books and smacked his face for this. He never "gleeked" me again.
