Did anyone catch Opera a few weeks ago where a high school's students and faculty met in the gym to get know each other?

I totally understand that Chrissy I am much better in person at expressing myself. I am not one who is good on paper. I always try to re-read post that I take wrong to see if I a reading it wrong and I usually am. But I think we have all been guilty of a bad day here. I once ripped poor Sofia's butt
Um, Rose, I'm thinking that would be ME! SOFIA-THE-BLUNT!! But you know I love you!!

Chrissy, I'm so proud of you for being the strong and wonderful Mommy that you are! Wow! You are a special mom, and your sons are special kids!! You're an inspiration to all of us. And I would like to know ONE FREAKING MOTHER OUT THERE who has the perfect kids, perfect life or is the perfect mother; because THERE ARE NONE!! How dare anyone judge you or your sons for ANYTHING? They don't have the perfect kids, because no one does. And no one has a right to judge you or them.
If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that none of us are without issues, and none of us are perfect, as much as we may try and act that way. You say your sons have special needs. OK, that's a challenge. But we all have challenges. I'm not trivializing what you go through, and I so much admire your strength. Most moms would not meet the challenges you face with grace. It just means you and your sons are more special than most. But what irks me is the judgement of others in the general public. Just remember that anyone who might look at you or your boys strangely in the stores, public areas, etc. are the first people to go home and have secret hidden issues like sexual dysfunction, emotional abuse, bad marriages, unhappy childhood pasts, financial troubles, substance abuse issues, etc. NONE OF US ARE IMMUNE TO PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES AND NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO THROW STONES SINCE WE ALL LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES!! If anyone ever says anything or does anything to you or your sons to make you think they're judging you, turn to them and ask: "What's *your* psychological issue? You obviously have one or you wouldn't be so judgemental. I'd recommend some therapy for that."
Hugs,
Sofia
Great idea Andrea.
If you really knew me, you'd know that I hate to see peoples feelings get hurt, even if they somewhat deserved it. I tend to always stick up for the underdog, because growing up my parents never stuck up for me. EVER!
I probably go to far sometimes, in my defense of others sometimes, so I'm trying to learn to balance myself better in that respect.

If you really knew me
You'd know that I'm terrified of aging, and believe when my looks go that everybody will realize that I have nothing else to offer.
gosh I've never said that out loud, let alone written it down.
edited to say she..
If you really knew me
You'd know I use sarcasm to hide behind what I'm really insecure about and pretend that I'm not.
Oh my gosh Rose you actually were told you were too old to be her friend?! She has an age limit??
