So, What About Consequences?

"If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy." -John Bender

I have often felt grossly misunderstood by the people around me. I am, in addition to being a prisoner’s mom, mom to 3 other children (2 of them adults and one still in elementary school), a masters level clinical psychologist, and a former public school employee.

Talk about conflicts of interest.

Everyone around me has always willingly shared their strong opinions about how we “manage” these kids. Many of them had no idea about my son or his story.

You might even be reading psychology in my bio and assume that I am a “softy” who thinks that the gentle parenting movement has all of the answers to the world’s problems.

I do not.
