novi, sorry about your situation, umbra, glad your past situation changed. hives are no treat. rose, you are a sweetheart, girl. i give you a lot of credit!
we had a foster child for a year. 12 year old girl, raised in squalor. couldn't break her of that mindset and tried my hardest to get her to learn things. she was in the slow class at school and came to the realization that not applying herself was easier than working. she really struggled with math so over the summer i taught her multiplication and division. when she returned to school, her teacher started her right back in with addition. i spoke with the teacher and told her what she could do, but she said, this is how we start them and how she will respond the best. needless the say, she never rebounded. BUT she loved to ride on the h-d. she was the best passenger i ever had. now truly, that has to say something, eh?
