An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Listened to a little Spiritualized this afternoon...

I claim the last post :exclaim:

Been done already... 85 Day Jerk made them. I have a stack of them right here. Only problem, (besides the fact that the girl on them looks like the girl from "The Ring") is that they're paper, not plastic, so they?re not permanent.

As much as I personally love the word, "FUCK!" I'm going to refrain from putting it on the shirt.  :smokin:

Okay, due to public opinion, mine included, I'm not doing the middle finger on the shirts this time around. Instead I'll use Sammie's suggestion of "I'm a POW of the Drug War" on the front with straight = crooked on the back.

Any other input would be great.

Thanks guys ~

"I still really don't understand, I really don't get what happened to me in Straight. I mean, what did they do to turn me into a Straightling. Did they do something that made me literally psychotic, or was I before and that made me extremely weak in there? Did previous abuse and neglect make it harder for me to see what was so wrong there? Has anyone else experienced paranoia to the extent that they would rather be homeless than live in an "exposed" place? I would like to figure this out because i seem consistently able to screw my life up and never get anywhere and also because i know this question is fairly central to everything i mean the way i have experienced my life and the way i conceive of myself. i mean, if i have a mental or emotional problem, or whatever, and you know, i think that feeling like you don't (or can't) exist is kind of a mental problem, then what happened, or was I always like this and Straight just made everything more painful. if someone reads my post and sees themself in them and the crashing and you found a way out of that it might help me."

Yes. I hate the idea of anyone "official" knowing where I am. I'm scared of my life suddenly being taken away. Ever since my daughter was born I've feared someone would try to take her from me. Ever since Straight I've had anxiety and fear about simply existing. There has seemed to be a strong negative self-judgement that has followed me though the years, like I have to be something, or I'm nothing.

Not to mention, Straight hammered the nails into the coffin for my mother and I. We have never had a relationship since. I'm not sure if Straight did this or not, my mother being the control freak that she is, was doing a pretty good job of making me fear/hate her long before Straight, and Straight being my second ?treatment,? my first being at a ?wilderness therapy? place, aka a bootcamp.

Incarceration for years when you've done nothing illegal, and you are just a kid, fucks with your head.

I'm not trying to make money. :wave:
