Oh Jack, Dear Jack,..you're pandering..but then, as you said, you were a 'motivational speaker'. Just what is success?..if you don't have someone to share it with?...Your husband left you young, with children to take care of?..That's a hardship in itself, not withstanding the bitterness and heartache one has to work through, while doing it??..What kind of outlook does a young man have, when he was raised by an emotionally injured mother? That of a healthy man, who could have been raised by two loving parents, with all their brothers and sisters bonded in an uncluttered way? There is no finer way, than for both parents to unselfishly dedicate their lives to that end.
The problem is, when outside influences, spiritual. political, trends, agendas, and peers, attack the family, either the father, or mother, of children from sharing with each other, and living in that active family bond, then its time for someone to speak up, and raise objection to that. If you would have read many of my posts,(some in other threads), you would clearly see, that some line is taken either out of context, or the other points, raised were omitted, from being addressed, and someone, obviously living those hurts, takes exception, instead of seeing that what I'm saying, is actually rather positive, and constructive. 'To error is human, to blame it on someone e3lse, is even more human'. When someone flies off the handle at me, because I hit a nerve, it is usually an indication, that the person re-acting that way, has unresolved issues, in that area. 'We often wish to ennoble those faults we don't wish to correct'. (jeez, I'm even giving you good stuff for your 'motivational 'raps).Actually,
Where I stand, comes from both an empathetic and compassionate place. I haven't initiated an angry or vindictive post. That tone usually is fired up by a response! Then assumed by someone else on the same bandwagon, that I am the one doing the attacking!!! Nobody cuts and pastes the supportive things I've said when I lift up, the wonderful things, that women do, and are in the home!!..Perhaps that's painful too..but if I post something gleaned form DECADES of extremely effective counseling, I'm not going to change my position, to stroke some soul, out there, that just doesn't get it!
   As far as the video, all it is, is something to consider. I was watching the hearings in the Judiciary Committee on CSPAN2 last night, and certain things are fitting like a glove. Anyway, that video is out there, and who is to say its accurate or not..but it certainly COULD be a possibility, could it not?? If it is, either in part, or all...well, we're knee deep in shit. As they said on the panel yesterday, Bush has granted the presidency so much over reaching powers, that they needed to change that before the next president takes office...and by the way, do you actually think that members on that committee, HAVEN'T seen the video??? or are aware of its contents??.watch the hearings(interesting to see where it goes, and where it doesn't).....anyway...have a great night..and BTW..I never said is was wrong for a woman to work or seek a career, but emphasized that nothing can replace the bond that a mother has with her young children, and infants, and sacrifice THAT for a career. Read it, its all there......
