Had I chosen differently some of them would be in institutions.
For example three of four multiply diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome (they are adopted) retardation and autism came off the spectrum, and one continues to improve. Understand that in my home there was abuse as we learned, we just had zero tolerance for it and so, the story unfolded differently.
So yes, we need zero tolerance of the players in the NFL, the police, the politicians any time they commit abuse. But that type of unanimous decision making won't happen until we have zero tolerance at home.
Fans have to prefer losing games with kind fathers to winning games with abusive ones. Women have to prefer gentle-men to macho men, and when the police pull you over thank them for doing their jobs. If you want heroes in jobs that require nerves of steel and emotional stability, treat them like heroes for their kinder acts rather than their sensational news making ones.
Stop talking about it and choose your child. Change the story now, by talking about life's beauty and teaching your children to do the same.
You may be terrified of being laughed at, afraid to act so different, but do it anyway.
My daughters and sons, all eight of them, are miraculous stories worth being awe struck by, they beat the odds.
You can choose the life you want to live in, and then step into it.
If you need help understanding how, seek me out. I am happy to help.
