The Princess...Oh Annie, that just breaks my heart. The Princess keeps asking to try wine, which I RARELY have, but every time I do, she wants to try it. I just can't do that, though I know some trauma mamas would say to give her a taste. She tasted vodka as a 3 year old ("so she'd go to sleep"). I really don't think she needs to try wine at age 13. Thankfully, she hasn't made theAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376339735923531053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950958699663796602.post-48322939542581686022012-02-04T15:26:28.791-06:002012-02-04T15:26:28.791-06:00Anastasia told her therapist the other day, "...Anastasia told her therapist the other day, "I'm going to be a whore because my mother was a whore." <br /><br />And, we've had no choice but to homeschool since that horrible day last spring when an older classmate [at the small Christian school where both her father and I were teachers] thought it was funny to call her a "Russian Ho".

If you read my post from a couple of days ago, you'll know that homeschooling The Princess is an option I'm considering. I know that doing so would be MUCH harder than it was when I homeschooled my older bio boys, but The Princess is just so attracted to trauma triggers and to other hurt kids.

I know I can't "protect" them forever, but they are not at a stage where they can process so many of the thoughts/ideas/facts that are presented to other kids their age(s). Since I understand (most of the time) exactly where they are at with their thinking and emotions, I can target school readings, Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13677010442934664757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950958699663796602.post-4717100842076966122012-01-23T20:28:58.948-06:002012-01-23T20:28:58.948-06:00Thanks CherubMama!

I think I'm going to print this out and save it. It's the most simple, yet most descriptive way I've ever heard trauma described.<br /><br />Awesome blog post.
