[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 605989, member: 1233"] I have always said that my momma was right when she said that testosterone causes brain damage. It is the ONLY way to explain some things about my husband, my daddy, and most of the males in the family. But that is another topic all together. Mostly I think other's criticisms of my parenting are about as relevant to my life as mushrooms are. I don't like mushrooms. The textures is awful either raw or cooked, the taste is not to my liking and I get a rash and wheeze if I eat them. If I pay attention to other people's opinions of my parenting, well, I have about the same reaction. My life works perfectly fine without either of those things, thank you very much. I had a LOT of people think I was/am evil incarnate due to Wiz' behavior and the way we treated him. Esp because we had him live elsewhere from age 14 on. People STILL think that was because we didn't want him or hated him or whatever. It was to keep him out of prison and to keep him from killing himself after he realized he killed his sister or I in a fit of rage. He would have then killed himself, and that would have destroyed all of us. Or he would have ended up in the juvenile prison here that is incredibly dangerous and he would not have survived. I could name ten boys who were killed by being beaten/stomped by staff in the last twenty years there, and I would do ANYTHING to keep my children away from that place. It is truly a training ground for a life in prison IF you survive. It isn't uncommon for kids who will be sent there to kill themselves rather than to go there, and it is a BIG problem that people work hard to ignore. NOt my kids, not for anything. I gave Wiz up rather than have him go there, and it almost destroyed me. but people don't see that, don't know what he was like at home, and even my own parents were totally astounded and shocked by his behavior once he settled into their home. Both of my parents have totally revised their opinion of my parenting of him after that because of the things that he did that NO ONE but the adults in his home ever saw. So I learned to totally ignore other people's opinions of my parenting. I know I did my absolute best for him, and do for my other kids as well. Sure I make mistakes, big ones. But I try not to repeat them, and when I know better and am able to do better, I do. So do you. So ignore these idiots. They are talking out of their tushies. [/QUOTE]
