This blog is my place to vent and share resources with other parents of children of trauma. I try to be open and honest about my feelings in order to help others know they are not alone. Therapeutic parenting of adopted teenagers with RAD and other severe mental illnesses and issues (plus "neurotypical" teens) , is not easy, and there are time when I say what I feel... at the moment. We're all human!

Introducing Bunny and Pixie

 Introducing Bunny and Pixie!


We have adopted 2 adorable humans. Bunny, age 6 (emotional age 2-3), and Pixie, age 9, are sisters who had been in foster care for over 3 years. This was a kinship adoption so we know a little more about their history (and genetics! lol) than we did with Kitty and Bear (who are now 28 and 30!).

Yes, I now have children ages 6, 9, 24, 27, 28, and 30! When I'm waiting with other parents to pick the girls up from elementary school, I feel very old! It is kind of fun watching people's faces when I tell them I have 6 kids ranging from 6 to 30. 

The girls have some new "issues" that I haven't addressed on this blog before and some oldies too (dealing with potty issues again. *sigh*). So you'll be seeing some new posts and I've updated many of the old ones. 

Here we go again!
