I had been parenting on learned instincts ... but now I am having to unlearn some things to become more flexible .. or has the Doc puts it become a chameleon ... and I have had positive results.
I'm not going to Canada. I refuse to let right wing christians run me out of this country, not without a fight. It's time to dig in deeper and get more pro-active. My families future is at stake.
