Copa banana , who normally posts often, asked me to send a message. She is fine. She somehow got locked out of her account here. It says she has to respond to an email which she never gets. Doesn’t know how to correct this. She hasn’t left. If she figures out how to fix this, she will post.

Do we have one?

Saw this from several years ago. Want it to be continuously re circulated. What is detachment? Detachment is the: * Ability to allow people, places or things the freedom to be themselves. * Holding back from the need to rescue, save or fix another person from being sick, dysfunctional or...

Im rushing and wanted to get this here somewhere fast….When our adopted special needs adult child found her birth family, she discovered both her parents suffered from mental illness like herself and many in the families with Bipolar disorder. Sorry I don’t have a link. It was I think on...

They are out! What a long , difficult day yesterday! But it went MUCH better than expected. (Part of this I posted before on the other thread) They got the 24 hour notice Monday. This seemed to cause the female to get higher than usual and crazier than usual. She was desperate searching fir...

Many steps to an eviction. Too long to go into. They were served papers posted on the door towards the end of Dec. In three languages. They have to write a letter to the court and our attorney describing in detail why they think they have a right to be there within five business days. Due to...

Someone sent me this message via FB. I don't believe this person has any idea of the current distress we are under with our adopted adult child. I recall learning in college that there is a unique and interesting relationship between mother and baby in utero. For example, often the baby will...

Last Spring we helped her move to a new city. This city is closer to our home and now she gets to come to our home fir holidays regularly. It’s lovely for her. She was having huge problems with the man who lived below her at her previous condo. Ironically, similar to us, his family assisted him...

Happy Mother’s Day! Those of us here tend to have at least a little extra to contend with as mothers. Thank goodness we have the support of one another. Blessings.

I apologize ahead of time as I fairly often do this...but I might ask for this post to be removed at some point due to privacy concerns. our adopted daughter found her birth family recently. She is in her early thirties. She was diagnosed with Bipolar around age six. At least suspected. It was...

Need advice on cleaning wood floors... We moved a few years ago to a home that has all dark wood floors. I think it would be called Engineered wood. the previous owner left Bellawood cleaner for wood floors in the cabinet and we used it snd liked it. I use it without any trouble. Once a month...

where is the link to change my password? Thank you

Keep it clean. I don’t know too many, so I’ll have to give it some thought.

One of our adult children is married and his in laws often do odd things, especially on FB. one thing is brag to the point that it is noticeably strange. One time a post about a birthday was mistaken for a eulogy because it was so long winded and far reaching listing every accomplishment of the...

What are your favorite movies that you don’t mind seeing over and over again? I need a good list for when I’m under the weather or just for quiet Sunday afternoons. Thanks. Some I like are: “My big fat Greek Wedding” “Big” “Home Alone 1”

we moved to a new city in the same state a little over two years ago. I recently am baffled by the gyno office. Right away I noticed oddities with doctors and prescription refills. I am taking a wild guess, but perhaps it’s because there are a lot of tourists here. But then again, if you see...

Mostly a vent. we flew our difficult child into town and due to this (cost) and some improvement in her recent behaviors etc we did not put her in a hotel for this visit. Last visit was much better with her in the hotel. But this one, although rough, was better than one’s in the past. So...a...

Have you heard of author Malcom Gladwell!? I have read some of his books in the past and thought they were great. He has a new one called “Talking to Strangers.” I’ve only read a little so far, but it seems to be largely about misunderstandings between people. This point was driven home in a...

I don’t know where to put this. I need info about long term alcoholism. Maybe you can post here or pm me. I hope this is ok. My main question is what to expect. Although I know all cases are likely different. Thirty years ago we became friends with another couple. They live in another state...

Quick background...We left no stone unturned getting our daughter medical and educational help as a young person. Doctors, therapists, private schools and tutors. Our daughter has been crazy difficult for decades. Recent weeks are more of the same. I recently posted that she is on very thin...
