David Update

We get regular calls and updates regarding David.

Seems like he is still stealing everyday.  But now when he gets caught, he is becoming verbally aggressive toward staff.

I have a theory about that.

He steals from everybody, but only gets verbally aggressive toward those he knows will return to him each day.  As long as nothing in his world changes, he will continue to be aggressive.

I wonder what would happen if they suddenly moved him to a different cottage.

Dragging my left foot.

For so long, I lived to care for David.  To see to his needs.  To make sure that he didn’t interfere with the needs of others.

 

Today was a hard day.  I spent the day with my daughters.  I forced myself to walk around the mall for a little while.

Everything hurts.  I never really paid attention to the affect that David had on my health.  I feel so ANGRY.

but then.

 

I remember.  and everything was worth it.  Because David is  my son, I would give everything I am for him.

There are times when I step down on my left leg and wonder if it is there.

I am struggling to get into the van a little.  the left leg always seems to get hung up.  I actually have to grab it by the knee and move it into the van on days when I am really tired.

My oldest noticed today that I am not dragging my left foot as much.  I am making a conscious effort to not drag it, since she noticed a couple of weeks ago that I drag that foot when I walk.

 

I guess, with David out of the house and in a safe place, I need to focus on me for a while.

Why does that thought make me feel guilty?

Boycott Ann Coulter – Hold her to the same standard as Michael Richards

Dear Miss Coulter,

Even the least educated among our population know that there exists in the language, a number of words that aren’t used in conversation.  Typically this is because, over time, they have become derogatory in nature.

Some key words that are considered derogatory:

Retard

Nigger

Which of these words have you used in the last 180 days?

I have a son, who when I was his age, would have been labeled a “Retard”.  Why?  Because he requires near constant attention in class to keep on task.    Growing up, that same son would have been called a nigger.

It disgusts me that people in our media, or who are in the attention of the media do not hold themselves accountable for the language that they are using.  For you to rationalize your use of the word “retard” by saying that you are talking about one person, rather than a whole population just makes your commentary more disturbing. Yet, you seem to revel in the infamy that comes from making inane comments with derogatory words. Why?  Is it because you enjoy people talking about you so much that most news sites have your name on the front page in bold face font?  When is enough attention enough?  You call yourself a conservative?

Nearly 6 years ago, Michael Richards got called out for using the word “nigger” repeatedly while confronting a heckler in the audience at one of his shows.  His career has yet to recover.

You seem to feel entitled to use words that are derogatory on a regular basis, never apologize and still have a career… where is the standard that you are held accountable to?  He did one show that ruined his career, you spout off at will and still have your voice.

I don’t understand. A month ago, Whoopi Goldberg called you out about your book “Mugged.”  The hostess introduced you as “the very controversial Ann Coulter”.  You then were sparring verbally with Whoopi Goldberg regarding race and what it is like to be Black in America. I am not Black.  I am not African American.  Seriously, I am a white guy who adopted an African American child.  I am not looking for accolades about it.  I did it because we love him, and felt he deserved a forever home.

I don’t expect an apology from you Ann.  I expect you to lose your job.  I will advocate for a boycott of anything Ann Coulter for long after the election is over.  An apology would come too little, too late, and people would question the sincerity of the message.
