DONI MARIE

OMG-NO I DID NOT TELL THEM ABOUT

MY CHEMICAL SENSATIVITIES

FORGOT DID NOT THINK IT WOULD

MATTER WITH EYE DROPS

HOW STUPID DUMB OF ME--WILL

TELL THEM TODAY

BUT OUT OF MONEY FOR NEW DROPS NOW

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH

SEE THIS IS WHY I NEED YOU AROUND ALL THE TIME--IT DID NOT

EVEN ENTER MY MIND TO TELL

THEM THAT!!

WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAYS

LATER

WOW WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT

YOU?? NO DO NOT ANSWER AS I AND

THE REST OF US DO NOT WANT TO

FIND OUT EVER!!!!!!

LOVE YA BETSY

BETSY,

DID YOU TELL YOUR EYE DOC YOU HAVE MCS (MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVITIES).

YOU NEED TO, HON. I WENT THROUGH TONS OF DROPS WITH MY OPT. UNTIL WE FOUND

THINGS I COULD TOLERATE. EVEN THOSE TEARS. THE BURNING MAY BE BECAUSE YOU

ARE HAVING A SENSITIVITY REACTION TO THEM, AND HE WILL JUST NEED TO FIND

SOMETHING A BIT WEAKER FOR YOU.

(((GENTLE HUGS}}}

DONI MARIE

I SPOKE WITH BROCK YESTERDAY

I HAD WRITTEN A RESPONSE EXPLAINING IT ALL TO YOU AND JO

BUT GOT PHONE CALL AND GOT

DISCONNECTED FROM WEB

DON " T REMEMBER WHAT I WROTE

WILL WRITE LATER

GOING TO PICK BROCK UP AT

BUS STOP

LARRY HAS BEEN SUPER ALL THROUGH THIS EYE ORDEAL

HOPE IT KEEPS UP

LOVE BETS

BETSY,

DON'T HATE ME, BETSY, BUT I HAVE TO AGREE WITH JO ON THIS ONE. THIS ISN'T

JUST A 5 YR OLD NOT UNDERSTANDING, THAT WAS JUST DONE OUT OF SELFISHNESS.

YOU NEED TO SIT BROCK DOWN AND TELL HIM YOU ARE HURT BY HIS ACTIONS, THAT

YOU LOVE HIM, AND THAT LOVE MEANS CARING ABOUT OTHERS, THAT YOU ARE SICK AND

IN LOTS OF PAIN, AND LOVE MEANS HIS BEING KIND AND CARING ABOUT OTHERS.

YOU MUST TELL HIM THAT IF HE DOES THINGS THAT ENDANGER YOUR EYES, YOU CANNOT

BE AROUND HIM UNTIL THEY HEAL, AND IT WOULD HURT YOU SO MUCH TO DO THAT

BECAUSE YOU LOVE HIM AND WOULD MISS HIM. IF HE HAS EVER BEEN SICK, YOU NEED

TO EXPLAIN HOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH IS LIKE WHAT HE WENT THROUGH, AND

THAT IS WHEN YOU NEED PEOPLE YOU LOVE TO LOVE YOU BACK THE MOST.

IF HE DOESN'T LEARN COMPASSION NOW, HE NEVER WILL. BEFORE A CHILD TURNS 6 IS

WHEN THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE DEVELOPED FOR LIFE. 5 YR OLDS DO UNDERSTAND

BEING HURT, AND THEY DO UNDERSTAND LOVE AND RESPECT. IF YOU DON'T PUT YOUR

FOOT DOWN ON THINGS LIKE THIS NOW, HON, THEY WILL GET OUT OF HAND LATER.

I KNOW YOU ARE AFRAID OF LOSING HIM IF YOU MAKE HIM TOE THE LINE, BUT BETTER

TO GET HIM ON THE RIGHT PATH NOW, OR LATER YOU WILL LOSE HIM FOR SURE -- TO

THINGS LIKE GANGS AND DRUGS.

KIDS NEED BOUNDARIES SO MUCH. THEY MAY NOT LIKE NOT GETTING THEIR OWN WAY,

BUT IF YOU GIVE IN TO THEM AND NOT PUNISH THEM THEY FEEL YOU DON'T CARE AND

WILL ONLY GET WORSE TRYING TO MAKE YOU 'CARE'. NO KID I HAVE EVER SEEN WHO

DIDN'T GET PUNISHED WAS EVER DONE ANY FAVORS. THEY DON'T ADJUST WELL TO

LIFE'S REALITIES AS ADULTS.

AND WHEN YOU SIT A CHILD DOWN AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT THINGS LIKE A HUMAN

BEING, AND NOT A CHILD, THEY LEARN SELF-RESPECT, ALONG WITH SELF-CONTROL.

KIDS WANT TO BE GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY, AND YOU CAN GIVE HIM RESPONSIBILITY

OVER HIS OWN ACTIONS. IF YOU WANT HIM TO BE AS LOVING AS YOU ARE, HON, HE

NEEDS TO START PUTTING IT INTO ACTION NOW. AND THIS WORLD NEEDS ALL THE

LOVING PEOPLE IT CAN GET, RIGHT. ;-D

I KNOW WITH YOUR EYES YOU DON'T FEEL UP TO IT, BUT THIS IS THE PERFECT

TEACHING OPPORTUNITY. DON'T LET IT SLOP AWAY, HON. THINK OF IT AS AN

INVESTMENT IN YOUR BROCK'S FUTURE SELF.

{{{Gentle Hugs}}}

Doni-Marie

JO SAID;

********************

BETS YOU HAVE THAT BOY SPOILED ROTTEN !!! AND HE WAS DOWN RIGHT MEAN TO

KEEP SPLASHING WHEN HE KNEW HE COULD DAMAGE YOUR EYES. I CAN UNDERSTAND

HIM BEING UPSET BUT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT. HE DISRESPECTED YOU

AND THAT IS NOT GOOD. LUV U JO

DONI-M I DID NOT SAY THAT TO MAKE BETS MAD. I WAS SHOCKED THAT BROCK

WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT HIS MOM SHOULD HAVE ALREADY TAUGHT HIM

BETTER AND PROBABLY HAS BUT HE WAS HURT AND BEING MEAN THE WAY KIDS ARE

WHEN THEY DON'T HOW TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES BUT HE DISRESPECTED HER. HE

COULD HAVE THROWN A FIT WITHOUT TRYING TO HRUT HER. I WENT THROGH THIS

WITH MYGRANDSON YOU USED TO HIT ME EVERYTIME I DID SOMETHING HE DIDN'T

LIKE OR GOT ON TO HIM. EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS SO CUTE WHEN HE WAS

LITTLE I DID NOT AND STOPPED IT BEFORE HE EVER GOT STARTED WITH ME.

EVERY TIME HE TRIED THAT WITH ME HE WENT INTO A CORNER. IT TOOK ME A

WHILE TO BREAK HIM BECAUSE WHEN HE DID IT TO EVERYONE ELSE THEY LEY HIM

DO IT AND LAUGHED ABOUT IT. BETS IS FEELING BAD ENOUGH AS IT IS NOT

BEING ABLE TO THERE AT THE BUS STOP ANYWAY. HE WAS LAYING A GUILT TRIP

ON HER. I DON'T THINKI MADE HER MAD BUT IF I DID I AM SORRY BECAUSE I

WOULD NOT DO THAT KNOWINGLY. AND SHE I HOPE KNOWS THAT. LUV JO
