kozar's JournalI'm going to ask a question,, please be kind to me :)
I was just reading an article about Avenetti and his efforts to reunite separated families. The article basically stated that while his attentions may be good, more and more people are starting to say he is either in over his head, or only worried about his own appearance/good. It is a very long article that I tried to digest, but I had a thought coming into my mind. If article is truthful, can we here, see past this and not throw ourselves behind someone who may be as bad as current? I am sooo wanting to read news to take our current "prez" down, Im just wondering if we could fall into the same trap as the MAGA lovers. Let's discuss civially.

Some more pics,
Of Tess of course! I don't mean to overload this group with her. So you may need to read another short story about these. (lol)
MomZar just finished chemo and Rad for B Cancer,so strong and doing well. Sometimes, during this all, my life got overwhelming and I would go through 1000s of pics of Tess and Mom and it would pop memories into my mind and I would be uplifted. So I share, it is that simple.
Tess big Russel Wilson Fan, love the pic of her watching him hold up SB trophy a few years back.
2nd and third pics are from NASCAR event in Bristol, That is Brendon Gaughan,who drove and sometimes still drives the 62. I was going to bathroom and bumped into him, (physically) and I excused myself. He looked and said "Hey is your daughter here?" ) I shockingly said yes as I couldn't believe he would remember her with the hundreds of faces he sees weekly. He replied "She won't remember me" and I said we will find out.
After the 2nd pic and 20 minutes of hugging later, he came to me and had tears from behind his sunglasses. First he said "damn, glad I have my shades with me" then he said " I guess she remembers me?"
I just said "welcome to a small part of my world Bren"
I hope some of you can feel the hope in these pictures as I do..

Why are you a Progressive? my short story
I will make this as short as possible. I read full replies and hope you will too.
I am 60 years old, I was raised to treat ALL like me. And I have.
14 years ago I met a woman after my divorce who cemented my thoughts. She didn't let me see her hcp daughter first because she told me later,, "Im in R country."
I met her daughter who took over my life. I have finally made her Mother believe that you stand up for beliefs no matter where you live. I left that visit and went back to my single apt. And I questioned my belief. Alot, Could I accept this girl?
I will tell you TODAY and every day, I am thankful I was raised to have the belief brought in me to make the decision I made.
I will not post pics here of the fantastic life I have now, if you choose to look at my previous posts of my inspiration and joy of my life, then you can search my past posts and pictures on here. I have worked in the hcp field for the last 7 years,, I am retired now because those " uppers" I worked for in this field did not agree with my thinking on how to care for "our" individuals. They were looking at , where are the $$,, even the non profit I worked for.
So now I am free to be an activist, a Democrat , truly, above all , I can be a PERSON now,,, with feelings. I read today that kids may have died away from their parents. OMG ,,how can we do that as humans? Are we seriously to a point where a letter on the ballot after a name means that much? We cannot as a human race be dumbed down that much.
I read today a child died,I repeat for effect, I read today that some children may never see their parents again.
If you chose to look at my past post, you will see my anger,,you will see my rage. I will not settle down, I will not be "correct" as long as children never see their parents again and as long as kids are in cages because of certain political views.
Because,,if I give in to that, My daughter would be in one of HIS CAGES.
I will hold back no longer,

Hi!
I recently posted some pictures of my hcp daughter on the general discussion area here. Fairly new to DU but wanted to share my joy of my life. CaliforniaPeggy mentioned in response to that post about this group, so I thought I would stop and say hi and share my favorite pic of Tess.
Unfortunately, the pic comes with a short tale, Tess loves camping and water above all (except her mom and dad, lol ) We hooked up camper after she went to sleep, I put her in truck at 2AM and she never woke. We went from Tn. to Myrtle Beach and straight to the ocean at campground rather than to our site and setting up. I carried Tess(still asleep) to the beach, then opened camera on my phone.
This was pic #3 out of about 25 I snapped. Maybe because of my heart for her, but I have only seen Joy like this less than 20 times in my 60 years on this planet. I blew it up to one of those"motivational posters" that were all the rage in my working days and it hangs in our den with these words printed below; "PURE JOY! Don't we all need some?"
Thanks for indulging, Pics of Tess are daily and never know when the great ones happen. I will sign off as,,
Feeling blessed

Im not sure what to think about this,
I hate war, so if our soldiers are coming home,,great. But part of me senses a "reassignment of resources" in a way.
Thoughts from DU are appreciated.full story at link;
President Donald Trump’s diplomatic team is reportedly negotiating directly with Taliban officials as he surrenders large swaths of the country to the Islamists who gave safe-haven to the terrorists responsible for the September 11th attacks.
The New York Times reports that Trump’s State Department is negotiating directly with the Taliban, with no involvement by Afghanistan’s government. Negotiations with the group, which is waging a civil war against the government that the United States has supported since the fall of the regime, reportedly took place in Qatar last week......

Please Don't feel guilty.
I have been lurking in the halls of DU for a while. But, you're story moved me to register and reply.
I have worked in mental health field for years, primarily as full disclosure because I adopted a mentally challenged young lady 7 years ago, who is my world.
Tess put me into the professional world of mental health care, which I worked in for 6 years now, one of the biggest obstacles we deal with is guilt as you are having from family. It is normal.
We as professionals in my case have worked through this many times. My advice to you would be, accept the guilt, ( at some point as I am 57 yo now, I will not be able to care for Tess and will have to do same). Then, and this is big, become part of his life with the professionals, your brother is not gone, he has just gained a trained support group that can make his life so much better. Please be a part of that.
Your decision appears to be right and I am proud of you to have the strength to make it. We will keep you in our thoughts!
PS Enjoy all the DU forums and thoughts and discussions. Hope my little 10 cents of experience can help backtoblue
