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!

Speaking of Christmas Miracles



I think I mentioned that Kitty has been calling me a liar because I won't tell her Santa is not real (and she says the Spirit of Christmas doesn't count). I'm so excited to have finally found a solution to this that I can live with!

On the way to therapy Kitty and I discussed this again. You know when you give money to a homeless person or help someone - people say you are doing God's work, or acting as Jesus' hands?! Even though we don't see Jesus, that doesn't mean that he doesn't exist and work through us. We are literally Jesus when we are doing his work.

Well if a parent or another person gives a child a gift or toy in Santa's name. Then they are literally Santa's hands. The Spirit of Christmas works through us, just like the Spirit of God.

Therefore Kitty can no longer call me a liar! Merry Christmas to me!

Yes, Kitty there IS a Santa Claus!
