@hrkbenowen He can't take a tough question. What a a snowflake

@usanewshq He also called her "Darling ". That's patronizing, not consoling DUH!

@Acyn What a cry baby

@melodymlyons Not sure how you got that from my post but not surprised that you attack when challenged.

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

@melodymlyons If an adult is beyond their 30s and they still grapple with a damaged nervous system due to childhood pain, and they "don't know how to get out of it," it is their responsibility to seek help. Healing is possible and ultimately inevitable. But some aren't ready

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

The "burden of repair" is on the one who walked away. And there are 2 sides to every story #estrangement #familyhealing

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

@melodymlyons Thank you. I hope the same for you, and I hope the same for our children. We learn as adults that we are responsible for our own healing. Give Grace. Do not cling to grievances.

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

@melodymlyons Who demands that kids pretend to be fine? I was hurt by my parents (as most kids inadvertently are), I did not get along with my mother and rarely agreed with her. But I will never regret being kind and caring towards her, especially in her final years.

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

@melodymlyons The burden of repair hinges on the commandment "Honor your father and your mother." God chose our parents (and our children) specifically for us and they cannot be canceled. This is the first generation to think it's okay to discard your parent.

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

@melodymlyons Exactly. Some will choose estrangement rather than face an uncomfortable conversation.

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

@melodymlyons Hmmm.... speaking of generalizations...

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

When is retaliation ever justified?

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

@Write4Republic Says who?

[Dee Starky @BrucesDee]

@Ravenismeee Yes. When I hit 70 I hit a wave of panic about running out of time. I got over it and relaxed into downsizing so I don't leave a mess when I check out, probably within the next 20 years or so. It's a peaceful resignation yet continue to learn, create, and be of service

Mother's Day is usually the saddest day of the year for me and so I focus on my adopted mother (mine is deceased). She was so happy I spent time playing Yahtzee with her. It's the most loving thing you can do for the elderly. Spend time, even a short time, while you can.
