Parenting a dope

My sorrow has reached its pinnacle My opinion described as cynical Flowing from deepest regret All the way to try to forget Why this condition came to be I find a complete mystery to me The conclusion of an attempt to right The loss of the inevitable fight From where this misfortune came The darkest of forces has it’s reign And death would have been a better fate There was no hope, nothing too late Only the wait for what would surely come The agony of it’s suffering soon begun The shaking insomnia the horror and pain The loss of trust in a once good name Where are the lost that once belonged Where are the loved left alone Why are the bonds of nature broken And the claims of love no longer spoken No longer a place to stay The freedom stolen to find a way All that is left a reason to pray Pray to God to find a way When nothing is left and gone is the "Stay."

Raising children, especially dopey ones, is more than a challenge...I can empathize with the struggle, the loss of trust, and the resulting insomnia. Helped raise 3 stepchildren...more than just a challenge and to this day, two of them have little to do with me...complicated situation. Thanks for your words. Have a great day, Sara

The way I interpret this one, I can really relate to it. I had two kids and the boy was a handful. He is nicer today but struggles with his own family. Karma really got him with his own son. I watch lots of shows on ID channel about kids that seem bad from the start with no fault to the parents. Another of life's mysteries.

I am not sure exactly what dope means here. Does it mean the child has mental problems related to not thinking or does it mean that they are strung out on illegal substances? I feel for you. I don't know how old this child is but there is hope for a brighter future. Finding the right resources helps be it an absent-minded professor type of child or if it is problem with illegal drugs or alcohol. I enjoyed reading this creative one today and thank you for dropping by my page. Sara K
