Up Bringing (Mine:Love is Evol)

Yes that was a reference to Christopher Tidus, and no that is not what I'm going to talk about. (I just like putting in a little bit of comedy in some of the things I do.)

I have always been interested in things with romance in them, mind you I mean romance comedy. No, I do not mean chick flicks and shit like that. I mean just basic love in normal stories. Mostly Shows like Friends and stuff like that...

Even as a kid growing up watching Pokemon and Power Rangers, I would always wonder:"When will Kimberly and Tommy do it?" or maybe, "Why is Ash such a dumb ass and not hook up with misty?" aside from all the common sense stuff you think when watching Power Rangers like "Why do they leave the zipper on the back of the monster so exposed?" or watching pokemon and think "Why does Ash and the gang always falls for Team Rockets shitty disguises?"

Beside all that, it was always the romance that got me. I came to realize that I like stories with romance, a "Romance Enthusiast" if you will, even though I liked this sort of thing, I never stopped being a realist. Who knows how or why I became so closed minded when it came to Real Life Romance. Since Everyone is so idealistic as to think of there being such as person as the "Perfect Someone," I would always laugh at them.

So I started to wonder when the fuck I became so sadistic, and yet I dream of romance. I mean is it due to my parents retarded relationship? Is it due to all the love and romance shows and novels out there? Yet when people ask me why don't I go out and get someone for myself I would always think, "I'm not good enough" or "It isn't worth the trouble."

Well either way, I wanted to know how, based on how you are now, how did your up bringing effect the person you are today? Better yet, How is your upbringing STILL affecting you today?

that's the mysterious side of movie...

you mean the mysterious side of those kinds of movies?

yes it is...
some movie that didn't pick a romance tags always do that...

you mean keep you in the dark? or making it seem one thing would happen but it never does?

I had those thoughts too, but it wasn't because of romance, it's because I'm a fucking pervert.

Well I say romance... to make it sound less dirty, i was a romantic and still kind of am, but none the less i was a big pervert even at that young age, my dad would tell me stories how i would grope beautiful woman who picked me up as a child

That's understandable as a pervert's dick is sometimes in control of their motor functions.

lol then wouldnt most men with no self control be like that? I was only a baby at the time XD

EDIT: You must have been quite the active child, Reno. LOL! Groping...


Hmm, to sum things up rather quickly, my folks taught me to soldier on and enjoy whatever little blessings LIFE throws at me. No matter how tough it can be, I learnt, seen and experienced that being united as a family is indeed a blessing.

I am now a single-parent of a special needs child. Pardon me if some of you may think that this is a flawed logic, but for me, growing up poor with a disabled sibling was a training ground that helped develop an easygoing, sensible and easily contented nature where family come first. Thanks to that, even my definition of success for my boy or for even me is different because of this very upbringing.

if you dont mine me asking, are you the birth parent or is said child adopted?

I brought him into this world by natural birth. Yup, I'm the birth parent ^^

may i ask how old?

I guess its just genetics that your child ended up like that. Well people are still people no matter the disability or any unique blessings or differences. I for one, was told I have Aspergers and ADD and i find it appalling that people tend to think that aspergers means I have a malformed brain...

Is your child attending school?

EDIT: again, if you dont mind me asking

EDIT:Indeed, high propensity for such things to run in the family, even though both parents are normal. He'll turn 6 this year and has been diagnosed with GDD and overlapping problems with ADHD/LD. Yes, he is attending school, both mainstream and special intervention programmes. I'm well-aware of that, too ... about how so called "abnormalities" are perceived...

sorry I don't know what is GDD and ADHD/LD

can I ask you to enlighten me?

6 years old huh.. I remember when I was six... I was ignorant, believe all the lies I was fed through peoples teeth, hmmm thanks god i practically grew out of that...

Since where I live the schools were poor the sped classes counted also were remedial classes, so either your there for having a disability or was a jerk who wasn't very smart.

I hope your child's future is a nice one.

edit: it seems any disorder or syndrome which makes one behave or progress to a child it counts as something terribly wrong...

GDD:
A Global Developmental Delay is a general term used to describe a condition that occurs during the developmental period of a child's life (birth to age 18 ). It is usually characterized by lower intellectual functioning and is accompanied by significant limitations in communication, self-care, home living, vocational, academic skills, leisure, health and safety).

Although my son does seem intelligent when it comes to tinkering with objects, is sociable, he also has the characteristic delays in speech (unable to string his sentences properly, limited vocabulary, etc) and academic skills.

ADHD:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. His hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity are interfering with his learning. Because he can't help being impulsive, he also has problems with perceiving danger (low sense of danger)

LD:
Learning Disorder. He is stil undergoing therapy sessions and would be undergoing more assessments to ascertain this problem.


Thanks, Reno. I hope so to. I'll try to provide as best as I can so that he can be independent and self-sufficient in the future.

All the best to you, too. You're doing great as far as I can see ^^

OOOHHHH

GDD, sounds pretty roungh. I made a thread in here that was moved to Serious named "Aspergers" which state some of the symptoms of Aspergers, but aspergers doesnt seem to be able to prevent a person from living a normal life. Im very sorry and i hope for the best.

Yes ADHD i know quite a few people who have it, I for one have ADD

LD, I went to a few doctors and other sepacilists and one of them thought i had LD and until now i forgot about that, (A little later it was found that i had aspergers and not LD. Thats was over a year ago)

So your upbringing really help you deal with those kinds of things?

Yup, I would have to say so. To be ready and receptive to any possibility and take it like a man, literally. To soldier on with life.

The child specialist was taken slightly aback that I was taking the news of my child's developmental problems so well. No crying, no denial... just understanding and acceptance that my baby is special.

but if you gave birth to your child wouldnt that make you a woman? May I ask the gender of the child, so i may say he/she instead of "Said child"?

Yes, I'm very much a woman [cups breasts just to be certain] My child is a boy. He's my favourite and only son. LOL.
