Proudly Deplorable
It has been a while since I posted here and on this thread.
But it came to mind this morning when I received an E-mail from Rebecca.
Short update.
Ashley has been convicted of child porn and likely will be taken from her paternal grandma's home and placed in an institution.
The family has mostly healed. My Daughter in Law has become a wife and mother to the rest of her family and things are going relatively well for them.
Except for Rebecca.
Rebecca has suffered depression and thoughts of suicide. All while maintaining A+ grade average at school. She is brilliant and talented,, lovely and confused. All at an age when emotions are raging in her young teenage body and mind.
But things are getting better for her. She made the re-connection with Grandma Cathy and they now talk again for hours. Listening to my wife's end of the conversation, it sounds like two young teens giggling over school events and boys. But deep inside, we worry.
This morning, I got this e-mail.
A Game
By Rebecca Rauscher
Life is like a game,
It puts many to shame,
The moves you make,
Can cause others to break,
You are given choices,
To make things right,
And you have the option,
To be a thief or a knight,
Ascend and rise up,
Or fall and give in,
Sometimes you find your fragile mind pinned,
Decisions, decisions,
You begin to panic,
One mistake,
Could lead to something traumatic,
You look around,
You feel the acceptance,
Your perception,
May only be reality's reflection,
Life is a game,
That's what some say,
My outcome,
Can easily change,
Reality's a dream,
That's what some believe,
Things are different,
From what our minds perceive,
A single step,
A drop of rain,
Can create something beautiful,
Or cause an eternal pain...
I think this young lady will be Okay.

Yup, sounds like things are starting to turn around. That is very good indeed.
Welcome back, Franc. You will find much more sensible folks over here then at the idiot farm.

Franc I am glad to hear that Rebecca is expressing herself through poetry. Sounds like it is an outlet that she can communicate her feelings through. Let her do it at her pace and she will be alright. Prayers for your entire family.
I agree. Good poem. That is a great outlet for her. Who knows she might be the next taylor swift in the making. (Maybe buy her a used guitar, so she can put her words to music).

Thanks Guys. All of you.
TR,I never left, I was banned. Still pissed about it. However, I do post here from time to time.
Doc, thanks for the kind words. I think Rebecca will be much like her Grandmother (my wife) and become an amazing adult. She won't get a used guitar unless it is my prized Alvarez Yairi
However, the acoustic piano I got her is used and an electric one so she can play silently with ear-buds.

Franc, I'm glad that things have turned the corner for you and your family and the healing process is almost complete.
I never posted in the original thread because I have no experience of such domestic trauma and the last thing you needed at that time was my uniformed "opinion".

Well, try and make it more often. Somebody has to keep Kane in line and that job is way above my pay grade.

Being my age has it's advantages, DS. Just the other day, I got pulled over for speeding. The trooper asked me why I was driving so fast. I told him I needed to hurry up and get there before I forgot where I was going. He let me go.
