Did anything make you cry today?

[cactusjack0584]

You're good people, sir.

Thank you I appreciate it. And I just do what I hope others would do for me.

The mad face is about the feeling of hopelessness, not at you.

My wife worked as a 1 on 1 aide. She suggested going to the teacher, if that doesn't work, then principal, superintendent, then the school board. Get more parents involved, write a letter, get signatures from other parents whose children are also affected by this bullying. Bring it to the school boards attention, give them a copy of the letter with the signatures. Board meetings are legal meetings and keep a record of events. The board could become liable if a situation is presented to them and they do nothing.

Oooooo thank you, tell your wife I appreciate her advice, as well! Also I'm sorry that this resonates so strongly with you, too... It's so tough

 

[B_mossy24]

That is horrible. I’m so sorry for you and your daughter. My heart also goes out and aches for her.

I get it

Oh that is such sad news. I’m sorry



Imagine being the guy who started and reads every single one…
But seriously it is good to get these things out sometimes. Even if it’s similar to screaming (or crying) into the void. I hope that some at least know I’m listening. And try and comfort as best I can from afar.

You're an amazing human truly. Nothing but respect and adoration coming from me.

@B_mossy24 I work in schools too— I’m wondering about the school counselor or the behavior management specialist in your district/county? If this child has this long of a history, they should have a behavior intervention plan somewhere in the system and if not, there needs to be one started. So sorry this has happened.

My daughter graduates high school Friday. I was going to give her her moms ( who passed last year) favorite earrings and necklace but couldn’t find them which had going through all of her things which sucked so bad

 

[Shady_nz]

I didn’t quite cry but I got teary and angry. A very close friend might have cancer again. She’s been through so much already.

I'm not sure if they're allowed to tell me this but I would assume so I'm gonna reach out to the counselor and teacher later and also request that they not be in each other's class next year

That is hard. I’m sorry you had to do that but at least it was for a good reason.

Please tell me that I’m not the only person who has to hold back tears when I see an animal rescue commercial on tv?

 

[Melodi24]

I found out today that my son needs neck and brain surgery. We thought it was a meet and greet appt with maybe further imaging and meds to try first. Nope, surgery and everything else was scheduled right away

I do too

That is some sad news. But I hope it all works out.

Same thing as made my smile, curiously,

"A three-year old blonde girl playing carelessly in the sun stopping to look at the man with hair on his face."

I realized when I turned 50 that although I had had a relatively successful career, what I had really wanted was a nice wife, three kids, and a minivan life.

 

[MissMaidenMinx]

The news that sober ex is telling me that he intends on doing the best he can by both of us when it comes to settlement, but drunk ex is telling people I am trying to ruin him.

I am now doing what I can to not spiral

 

[cheekygirl75]

Talking to my therapist - that usually does it!

I’m sorry that life hasn’t worked the way you had hoped. But it doesn’t always work out the way any of us hope, unfortunately sometimes, that is just how life is.

That must be incredibly difficult to deal with. I’m truly sorry you’re in that position.

When I was in therapy it happened a lot to me too. But hopefully you and your therapist are working through it.

Held it together well on Thursday. I am not sure how and why, but a lot of the emotional pressure I have been under recently has subsided.

 

[GraiceeGirl]

Just some tears, after surgeon spoke to me about my husband's surgical procedure. Mostly relief and glad that part was over.

 

[~Elizabeth~]

A bit

 

[SassySheDevil]

I was renting a wheel chair and my son in law said screw that and called up on his firefighter buddies and one showed up on my porch.
I sure do love these kids.

 

[Tallulah82]

My daughter asked for my help to write a form, detailing her life-long struggle with an anxiety disorder, as well as other things. Writing out her life in such brutal facts made me cry. As useless as I feel, and as hard as life is for her, I am grateful that she's still with us.

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

Sitting up with my sick pup at 3am.
Though I think the tears were more from exhaustion than anything else.

I’m glad it was relief but still warrants a big from me

A bit

Even a bit gets a big

Aww that’s so wonderful

That sounds incredibly difficult. I’m glad you were strong enough to help, even if it was hard.

Oh no. I hope they are ok.

And apologies for my absence. I have been busy doing other things and just now got back to this thread. Thank you to all who helped fill in while I was away.

 

[munch2much]

No. Real life seldom makes me cry.
The next time I do, I guarantee it will be a happy moment in a film.

 

[GraiceeGirl]

More than tears now, with the results of my husband's procedure.
