occasionally, we must make do with where we are and with what we have got in front of us…
presently my partner and I live in a nice neighborhood, conveniently located close to my work place and hers, and not far from my school either…
but recently a family moved in downstairs which is just pushing a lot of buttons…
and caught in the middle of it all is their sweet little black puppy 😦
you came into our lives, cute and precious, with obstructors trailing after you
your little boy sometimes plays nice, but sometimes kicks you
he was not raised right, he is just five, we are trying to teach him
that being kind will in turn elicit kindness
his mother had substance abuse problems and assumes life is tough
his grandmother yells at him and assumes he is being a burden to others
but no, it doesn’t have to be that way!
the kid is sweet he just needs proper guidance and opportunities to socialize
he needs to learn to use his words, that his version of touch is less-than-kind
because that is all he has been taught
you all need support and resources that help move your family toward health
and I pray you receive it very soon
(we are in conversation with the parents and with the land lord and the friend about these issues… it is challenging though. Life can certainly throw some curve balls our way. And yet compared to some parts of the world, this trauma is tiny in comparison.)
May all beings know happiness and its causes!
