first off I am sharing my word for the year of 2018
and the word is:
DISCOVERY
JANUARY
I wish I knew some of this
info back in 2003
However, hindsight is 20/20
and if I did read this poster below back then it would
scare me as a parent
knowing my son was showing these signs,
So here is what Graham expressed from my
perspective:
social isolation, feeling alone, feeling like
he ddn't belong, feeling worthless, feeling trapped,
no hope for the future (knew he wanted to work
with his hands and make things, tying rope halters,
cooking, exploring/hiking/camping/fishing
playing cards
He had his hearing impairment all his life
and fought that battle silently but always
had his hearing aids on and looked after
them....

I couldn't connect with him, everything was okay he said;
It was getting harder to see a response of enthusiasm
from him. He was a low key deep thinking soft and subtle
adolescent. He had a couple of good friends
and worked hard at school and his job.. however his connection with friends
depleted...
These are the basics of what I remember
so this poster is very relevant and as a wife, husband
teenager, brother, sister, Aunt, Uncle Grandparents et al
or what ever you are...... Make a big deal of unconditional love.
tell that person that no matter what they are feeling
that you love them unconditionally and that they are
doing and feeling something very normal and they are not alone
talk, hug, connect.....
DISCOVERY
makes a difference when you learn more
we all need a community to support us
