Sophia, go see Where the Wild Thing Are. really.
it seems to me that somehow getting Mac to feel that he won't lose you even if he lets you be in power is the important thing.
That is EXACTLY it. He doesn't trust that. It's why I can't just let him stay in his room mad, I have to go to him and offer him the outs. I have to show over and over, I will NOT give up on you and on this family. And I have to hug him and give snuggles especially when I am still mad.
That's the hardest for me, because I do mad really really well, and I excel at petty and sarcastic while mad.
Try having him soak it in epsom salts.
I was just going to suggest this. It's my go-to foot treatment.
Just bring your petty and sarcastic here; we can take it!
Go Cowboys!
You're just being petty and sarcastic now, right??
Go Iggles!!(except Vick because I will loathe you forever)
seriously?!?!? the other thing about me, I hold a grudge. Buddy Ryan! Hatesss him, so will always hate the Eagles.
Hmmm, I don't know who Buddy Ryan is, I'll have to look it up. I mainly root for the Eagles because I like McNabb and boyfriend is a Philly man. Niners are my first team (hence the Cowboys hate).
ETA: otay, looked it up on teh internets and learned about the Landry/Ryan thing.
Man, just reading the coverage of the Saints game is nerve-wracking.
Now that I've seen it: yeah, nothing relaxing about that game.
HA! My football craziness is often rooted in things from the 70s and 80s. I will probably get a Cowboy's jersey with Landry on it.
Didn't your father abandon your family?
That's probably what I thought at the time, but what actually happened (I found out when I was about 25) was that my mom wanted a baby and either had a relationship with or just tried to get pregnant with an older man who actually passed away before I was born. As a child (and an adult) I have been a great disappointment to my mother, who longed for love and companionship herself and I really did not provide that!
