"I Am Sickened By This": Right Wing EmoCringe
September 13, 2013 buffalopundit 11 comments
Here is a perfect example of knee-jerk, fact-free, emotional, feeling-based hatred of Obama. There's something sickening, alright, but it isn't the supposed absence of "enough flags for Rus Thompson to not become physically ill".
The outrage grows:
WHERE IS THE FLAG? Our correspondent is sickened!
LOOK AGAIN! NO FLAG! OUTRAGE!1!
Voice of reason criticizes getting "crazy":
Forget the fact that Obama has a flag on his lapel, for God's sake. There's a flag embedded within the Presidential seal on the bug on the screen. The apparent optics of having a flag in the shot is so important to Rus Thompson that he says he becomes physically ill at its absence. This is, people, utter and sheer insanity.
Diagnosis: Acute Obama Derangement Syndrome.
Prognosis: Poor.

The conservative Heritage Foundation and its PAC have taken President Obama's re-election really well.
They've declared war on him. Not figuratively, as far as I can tell, but literally. This is propaganda that would make any dictatorship proud.
You can't blame them. After all, the Heritage Foundation invented Romneycare/Obamacare so that a REPUBLICAN could take credit for introducing universal health insurance to America.
Paladino and his BFF Romney
November 8, 2012 buffalopundit 16 comments
In case you wanted to see how local, poorer version of Donald Trump handled the re-election of President Barack Obama,
ObamapelosimuslimchinaBenghazicommunism. For fun, I had a friend of mine who is a licensed psychologist analyze Mr. Paladino's screed. Here's their conclusion:
First of all, did it come to you with the half black/half blue font? I tried to figure out if that was on purpose or just a weird formatting thing. He could be trying to emphasize certain points with the font color but I could not find a pattern that made sense.
The blatant misspelling of Obama to O'Bama in the second paragraph either means he (or whoever wrote it for him) is an idiot or did it purposely to show how much he disrespects and dislikes the president. It's hard to figure out which one is the case because he is both an idiot and horribly disrespectful.
I also found it interesting that he says right off the bat that most of his 500 employees are voting republican. First of all, I doubt that is the case, but clearly he has tried to bully them into doing do. I can only imagine the other emails and notices hes sent to his employees "encouraging" them whom to vote for. Was this an email sent to his employees? If so, it's pretty much him telling them, 'you'd better vote for Romney or you won't be working for my anymore.' It's straight up bullying. He's telling them he is the boss, is stronger than they, (he using strength and references to it a lot) and they better follow suit.
Overall, the whole email is right in line with how his whole campaign was, full of bullying and misinformation. It's fearmongering at its best, scaring people with nuclear warhead talk and that Obama is a crazy socialist Muslim whose only goal is to take all our money from us.
What I also think what he's trying to do is make people feel disgust and shame when they hear Obama's name. Humans are genetically engineered to act accordingly based the disgust we experience in certain situations (it keeps us aware from harmful disease and contaminants). By trying to conjureup feelings of disgust and associating it with Obama (and gays, blacks, welfare recipients, Muslims, etc) it causes us to shun and treat people unfairly and think of Obama as 'dirty' which can then lead to even more malicious thoughts and views. The same goes for shame…everyone hates the feeling of shame…no one wants to feel shame and if they can defer those feelings and blame someone else, they will. Throwing in his hatred of all other cultures by saying its shameful to ever align ourselves with the Chinese or Muslims, that's just classic Paladino.
Paladino fits the mold of the extremely conservative right-winged 'religious' republicans very well. The more extreme you are the more you are hiding (like his extramarital affair and illegitimate daughter). The more moral you say you are, the more likely you are hiding lot of amoral activities. It's a common defense mechanism to ignore our past mistakes and look down upon and criticize those who make the same mistakes as we have.
Carl, for his part, is taking it all in stride.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship". – Alexander Tytler 1787 (unverified)
"Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage."
Four more years of Obama will make permanent the decline of the America we have known at the hands of the liberal progressive movement and it's inept control of our government.
The republican establishment is to blame for letting the movement grow out of control for the past 2 decades. They gave us the weakest of the candidates to run on the republican ticket by supplying the money for him to destroy Gingrich and the others with a total disregard of the parties rank and file, three quarters of which favored the other candidates, playing right into the hands of Obama's strategists who knew that Romney would be easiest to beat as the very rich Mormon defending the rights of Billionaires to earn unconscionable money. His platform emphasized class struggle by insanely stating that the superrich should not pay more. How much money do people making a million dollars a year need?
Romney was out of touch with rank and file republicans and independent voters. They condemned the tea party as extremists who live somewhere in the woods when in fact they are two thirds of the rank and file of the republican and conservative parties and independent voters. He had no appeal to the young or the working man. He chose to side with the 1% rather than the 99%. He is an elitist. No, billionaires do not create jobs. They don't share. They are not nice people. They are self-centered, greed driven and arrogant opportunists who found ways to game the system. Like liberal elitists the feel guilt about the rest of us so they want the government to take care of the masses but to do so with money they collect only from the middle class.
Instead of pummeling Obama when he had him on the ropes over Benghazi, Romney let him off unblemished while trying to look presidential. Looking presidential was somehow more important than beating your opponent into oblivion. Terrible advice from faceless and nameless advisors (some say they were disgruntled former Obama campaign staff) who could not have run a worse campaign.
The old guard of the republican party is washed up and finished both on a national and state level. They live in the past and have shown that they can't lead.
Benghazi has legs. Insofar as they don't want to be complicit in the cover-up, I predict that Hillary, Pretraeus and Panetta will resign shortly. They are respected leaders with backbones and I can't believe they will carry Obama's water on Benghazi.
Without any real jobs plan or economic plan, with no effort to put trade restrictions on China and force them to raise the value of their currency, with our small businesses and the middle class refusing to invest in the economy because they don't trust their government, with the tax increases to take effect in 2013 and 2014, with government intrusion and regulation and with the pending loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs in the defense industry, I predict that our nation will suffer a second dip into recession if not an outright depression dragging the rest of the Western world with it. Obama's scheme is to create economic chaos from which he thinks a socialistic society will evolve.
By weakening America's military and advocating that America will be an equal partner to the rest of the world, Obama will allow the warring tribes of the world to advance upheavals, wars and terrorism the likes of which we can't imagine.
I firmly believe that Obama is diabolical and evil.
If I was a paranoiac who had just been rendered essentially part of an electoral minority in this country with waning influence over national elections, I might lash out, as well. I'd probably keep it to myself, however.
A Local CEO Implores His People to Vote Romney
A tipster wrote, saying that the following screed was emailed by a local business owner to all employees on the morning of election day. The man sending it is David Buonerba, CEO of Trans American, a local customs brokerage. I don't quite understand why businessowners can't be satisfied with having a loyal set of hard-working employees, and has to give them a set of lies and try to force them to vote a particular way, especially when it's palpably against their own interests.
A message from the C.E.O. on Election Day Nov. 6, 2012
Today is a very important day. I am voting for Republicans and urge all of you to do the same.
Gov. Romney has not only solid business experience but has the necessary leadership skills to lead our country in the right direction.
Not really. Governor Romney is a vulture capitalist. To the extent that "Bain Capital" is a business, it exists to swallow and regurgitate struggling businesses, using other people's money as leverage. It's a fantastic way for the rich to get richer, but hardly indicative of "leadership skills".
Some facts about Gov. Romney:
He is of impeccable moral character
He is a good father and husband
He is a very successful self-made businessman
He is well educated with an M.B.A. and law degree
He donated ALL of his (family) inheritance to charity
He donates at least 20% of his annual income to charity
His "15% tax rate" is our Capital Gains tax rate… he has already paid either corporat tax at 35% or personal income tax at 30%+ on the money that he has invested (that he pays the 15% on!)
Self-made? While he may have donated his inheritance proceeds, by the time George Romney died, Mitt was already quite wealthy. For him to be "self-made", we'd be assuming that his father didn't support Mitt throughout his youth. After all, Ann Romney explained that she and Mitt struggled through college, selling off parts of his stock portfolio just to buy Chateaubriand. As for Romney's track record of taxpaying, we learned in the waning days of the campaign that Harry Reid was right – Romney likedly avoided paying any tax whatsoever for years through a carefully crafted loophole available only to the superwealthy.
Unfortunately, we know very little about Barack Obama's background because he REFUSES to release his academic and personal records. Obama has never run a business and has no idea how to create value to grow the economy.
Mitt Romney didn't release more than one solitary complete tax return, for one year. He released no academic or other personal records. Romney supporters have unclean hands on this particular whine. You don't have to run a business to know how to run a government. See Collins, Chris.
Every single member of the TA family of companies knows far more about economics than Obama… we all (actually) balance our budgets. Obama promised to cut the national debt in half… he increased it by $6+ trillion. What's a trillion $?…If you spent a dollar a second it would take you 2,700 (two thousand seven hundred) years to spend a trillion $.
Of course, this ignores the depression spiral in which the country was falling in the latter half of 2008. Also, the trillion-dollar war in Iraq paid on credit, which was waged by choice, not out of necessity.
President Obama has no business experience and is a poor leader surrounded by a bunch of nuckleheads. He recently admitted, "I can't change Washington from within!" What a profound admission.
Frankly, I agree with him and he should leave Washington ASAP, because it sure is a mess! Barack Obama won election 4 years ago on "Hope and Change". The definition of hope is "to have a wish to get or do something"… we need more than more wishes after 4 years!
You can't change Washington from within. You need people – the grassroots – to help change Washington from without. To attack that notion is to attack the very principles of representative democracy. As for Hope and Change, we got both. President Obama pulled us out of that depressionary spiral through the stimulus, which didn't kill jobs, but grew them; which contained more tax cuts than any previous law ever passed.
On another very serious note, the Benghazi attack that killed our Ambassador and 3 CIA operatives on Sep. 11th continues to seep out each day and you're going to learn in the very near future that Barack Obama has outright lied to us about what really happened… an left American's behind.
This is a right-wing trope that has been repeatedly debunked, and also ignores the Iraq war, which killed thousands based on lies.
Gov. Romney has a plan to grow the economy that includes reducing taxes (for everyone), getting rid of obamacare and making the U.S. energy independent which will take our country in the right direction. The U.S. has more oil and gas reserves than any other nation in the world. Every time you fill your gas tank, just think of what you could do if you were able to keep at least half of those dollars in your pocket! I most strongly believe that if we have 4 more years of Obama, as Americans we will be much worse off than we are now.
Gas prices went from an average of under $1.50 before the Iraq War, and shot up past $3 and 4/gallon around the time of Katrina, and haven't significantly dropped since then, except in the midst of the Bush global recession of 2008. The Republican answer to energy problems is to drill – a "solution" that takes 10 years to take effect.
I invite everyone to take time off during the day or leave early today to vote. Please coordinate with your Supervisor to ensure that we have no lapse in client service.
I hope they all voted for Obama to teach this asshole a lesson.
Is It Illegal To Instagram Your Completed Ballot?
@MarkPoloncarz on Twitter
This seems to be the burning question this afternoon on Twitter, as people post images of their ballots with Obama or Romney ovals completed as instructed. Gizmodo and others are on it, and our local journalists are smelling a story. After all, the County Executive Tweeted a picture of part of his ballot.
The law everyone is citing is Election Law section 17-130(10). It reads:
Any person who…[s]hows his ballot after it is prepared for voting, to any person so as to reveal the contents, or solicits a voter to show the same…is guilty of a misdemeanor.
First of all, no one is prosecuted under this section. In my review of the times in which this statute has been cited by New York State Courts, the only such case dates from 1979 where a person's provisional ballot was invalidated because he put his name on it; (that violates subsection 11 of the statute). That's it.
The reason why the law exists? To prevent people from selling their votes; offering to vote a particular way, and having to show the completed ballot to the payor as proof before payment is made. It also exists to prevent intimidation of voters or otherwise violating the secrecy of the vote. However, the statute has not been updated to make it a misdemeanor to photograph one's ballot for any purpose, or to show the photograph – only to show the ballot itself.
So, Instagram the shit out of your ballot, and don't worry about it being invalidated or about you being arrested. After all, political speech is offered the highest protection of all speech, and what's more political than Tweeting a picture of your ballot. I'd wish the authorities good luck in overcoming the 1st Amendment challenge to that misdemeanor charge.
Also, the New York State Board of Elections issued a statement today indicating that it's perfectly legal. So, there's that.
Please go out and vote today. While it's true that New York's electoral vote outcome is firmly in Obama's corner, there are many very important downballot races that really need your vote – your support, your minimal effort as a citizen to spend a bit of your day at your polling place to help select how you will be governed over the next term of office. I have seen election days in countries where the choices were non-existent and pre-determined as part of an institutional dictatorship. I have seen election days in countries where the choices were for political parties more than they were for people. We as Americans don't have a perfect electoral process, but it's the only one we have right now.
It's a common refrain from political junkies like I to lecture you on your civic duty of voting. It's more than that. You really don't have very many duties as a citizen of this nation, except to pay taxes and obey the law. Voting is one of those unique and fundamental rights that you hold to help choose the direction of your town, city, state, and country. It's a right that millions around the world do not have. It's a right that has been kept away from American women, different races, and ethnicities throughout our history. You probably attend July 4th parades, firehall picnics, fireworks displays, and the like to join in our occasional totemic displays of patriotism. All of that is window-dressing. Going out to vote; taking that minimal time to make your most solemn voice – your political voice – to be heard is the real thing.
If you truly think the President is a disaster, you need to go vote for one of his opponents. If you think that your Assemblyperson, your State Senator, or your United States Senator is doing a good or bad job, you need to fill in an oval on a piece of paper, scan it, and tell them.
My endorsements, again are here. They are:
Barack Obama (D-POTUS)(incumbent)
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-US Senate)(incumbent)
Brian Higgins (D-NY26)(incumbent)
Kathy Hochul (D-NY27)(incumbent)
Mike Amodeo (D-SD60)
Justin Rooney (D-SD61)
Ray Walter (R-A146)(incumbent)
Christina Abt (I-A147)
Incidentally, although I made no endorsement, I voted David Shenk for County Comptroller. Given the choice between marginally qualified town finance nerd and wholly unqualified former sensational journalist, I opted for the former.
If you have a sense of humor and you're not offended by curse words, you can humorously find your polling place here. If you want to find it in a way that's more safe for work, try this. Every state is different, but polls throughout New York State are open from 6am – 9pm. If you're in a different state, please consult this list.
Tonight, I will join others to report on and live-Tweet the reactions and results of this election using the Twitter hashtag #WNYVotes. I leave you with President Obama's closing argument, and the last political campaign speech he will ever give, delivered last night in Des Moines, Iowa, where his road to the Presidency began in earnest in 2007.
Go vote.

Every Obama Conspiracy
This chart, produced and posted by Mother Jones, explains through a handy Venn diagram, each of the known and popular right-wing conspiracy memes used against President Obama. So, now, you can ignore those emails from Carl Paladino and the inane Facebook postings and un-Snopesed chain letters you get from older acquaintances and family members.
Now, you can tell them you know all about it.
Donald Trump: How to Destroy a Brand
The Trump name used to stand for opulent, rococo luxury. For most people with some taste, it was always over the top; kitsch, but quality kitsch. He's always been a colorful public figure, brash and opinionated. Unfortunately, this year, he has taken the Trump name and essentially thrown it in the toilet.
He has now supplanted Orly Taitz as American birther-in-chief. His recent anti-Obama public political pronouncements have been offensive and loaded with thinly veiled racial animus – claiming that the President is foreign, socialist, evil, doesn't have America's best interests at heart. Even many Obama detractors who think his policies are wrong would concede that he hasn't led the country over the last four years like the Bolshevik some make him out to be.
It's telling that Mitt Romney doesn't rebuke or distance himself from Trump's awfulness, but instead uses him as a surrogate.
Not Trump though – he's become Carl Paladino with more money, a bigger mouth, and more fascinating hair. His beclowning became final last week when he offered to pay a paltry-for-him $5 million if President Obama would disclose certain personal records to Trump's "satisfaction". As any normal person would do when confronted by a bully, Obama has pretended that Trump doesn't exist, except while mocking him on the Late Show.
Yesterday, Trump Tweeted something about how Obama was going to somehow force Chrsyler parent Fiat to send all Jeep production – even domestic production – to China. (Why would Obama do that? Because he's as communist as the Red Chinese? Even though Red China has been only nominally communist for a generation?) Even though Romney has made a similar claim, it was handily debunked by Chrysler itself. It's easier for Romney to lie about Obama – it's much harder for him to lie about 3rd parties who have more flexibility publicly to debunk the lie.
Chrysler's VP of product design, Ralph Gilles, is also on Twitter. Here's how he – appropriately – responded to Trump.
Take a look, by the way at how many people re-Tweeted and favorited Gilles' Trump rebuke. Now compare to Trump's original Tweet (as of 6:00 am Friday):
That, folks, is how you ruin a brand – you take a crazy, fringe political viewpoint and broadcast it in a way that is equal parts arrogance and ignorance. As for economic stewardship, Trump companies have gone bankrupt four times, avoiding legally binding debts. So, he's exponentially worse than Paladino, who at least has the good business sense to remain afloat.

Why Obama Now. Prepared by an animator for the Simpsons, and if it does nothing more, it should help popularize the term "Horse and Sparrow" as a euphemism for trickle down / supply side.
Romney's American Value: Lying
October 30, 2012 buffalopundit 9 comments
One of the reasons a local birther cited for choosing Mitt Romney over Barack Obama is that Romney is an American who holds American values with other Americans in America and has America's best American interests at American heart.
One of those American values must also involve lying.
For instance, American Mitt Romney hopped on a Bloomberg story indicating that Jeep would return to the Chinese market. Jeep doesn't make cars in China, and not a single car made in the People's Republic of China is sold in the United States at this time. That didn't stop the Romney campaign from saying – with a straight face – that Obama is an outsourcer because Jeep will start building its cars in China. The report was that Jeep would resume exporting American-made Jeeps to China. From Chrysler:
There are times when the reading of a newswire report generates storms originated by a biased or predisposed approach.
On Oct. 22, 2012, at 11:10 a.m. ET, the Bloomberg News report "Fiat Says Jeep® Output May Return to China as Demand Rises" stated "Chrysler currently builds all Jeep SUV models at plants in Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Manley (President and CEO of the Jeep brand) referred to adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China."
Despite clear and accurate reporting, the take has given birth to a number of stories making readers believe that Chrysler plans to shift all Jeep production to China from North America, and therefore idle assembly lines and U.S. workforce. It is a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats.
Let's set the record straight: Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China. It's simply reviewing the opportunities to return Jeep output to China for the world's largest auto market. U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation. A careful and unbiased reading of the Bloomberg take would have saved unnecessary fantasies and extravagant comments.
That didn't stop the American Romney campaign from completely making something up out of whole cloth. On the American stump, Romney began saying that Jeep was going to start building cars in China. When Chrysler and the media pointed out that this was false, American Romney doubled down on the lie and made an ad about it. It's a lie. It's false. Mitt Romney's American or Mormon or whatever values allow him to just blatantly make stuff up.
It's so bad that it's now actually become a thing. The Obama campaign is pouncing, Americanly

In order to study the various trends and patterns prevailing in the overall market for Beauty Devices, FACT.MR has included a new report titled "Flash Dryer Market" to its wide online database. This research assessment offers a clear insight about the influential factors that are expected to transform the global market in the near future. Readers can access the regional as well as segment-wise analysis for acquiring precise information about the global market structure.
Flash dryers have witnessed considerable demand in the process industries such as minerals and chemical, owing to their application in the drying process. Emphasis on process efficiency and product quality has a significant impact on development of flash dryers in terms of efficacy and performance. Flash dryers market have witnessed continuous advancements in recent years, with prominent manufacturers focusing on the development of process requirement-specific flash dryers. Availability of a variety of flash dryers, ranging from small-sized to large-sized variants have further resulted in a dramatic increase in demand from the process industries, that continuously seek flash dryers with improved performance and efficiency.
Energy-intensive process of drying, which accounts for nearly two-fifth of energy consumed relative to other operations of process industries, has been directly affecting growth of the flash dryers market. Indirect operation of flash dryers, which need hot air/gas for drying process, result in dependency on burning fossil fuels. This further leads to additional operational costs and increases the environmental footprint of flash dryers, which in turn is a major challenge arresting growth of the flash dryers market. Additionally, stringent regulations imposed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) on process industries have further restricted use of drying equipment, thereby impeding growth of the flash dryers market. Availability of cost-effective and energy-efficient alternatives that include fluidized bed dryers and spray dryers have led small industries to shift their focus from flash dryers, which will remain a key growth impediment for the flash dryers market in the near future.
Customized flash dryers that offer variations in configurations and feeding systems are witnessing an upsurge in demand, owing to changing requirements of industrial processes and growing number of food processing industries. Agitated swirl spin flash dryers, wherein material is fed to dryer housing through suitable feed mechanism mounted on the rotating swirl agitator is one of the key customized flash dryers' developments. Demand for flash dryers with customized configurations such as double paddle mixer for backward mixing of dry products, and feed bin integrated with lump breaker is likely to propel demand for customized flash dryers.
A systematic representation of imperative segments of the flash dryers market has been offered in terms of a market taxonomy in the report. The flash dryers market has been primary categorized on the basis of size, end-use industries, operating principle and region. Small, medium and large are basic sizes of the flash dryers available in the market, on which in-depth analysis and forecast has been offered in the report. The report has classified end-use industries in the flash dryers market into food, fertilizer, chemical, construction material, pharmaceutical, and others. Direct drying and indirect drying are key operating principles elucidated and analyzed in the report. The report also offered scrutinized assessment on the flash dryers market with respect to key regional segments including North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Middle East & Africa (MEA).
The report on the flash dryers market also provides a comprehensive information on the market's competition landscape in a dedicated chapter, profiling prominent as well as emerging players in the flash dryers market. This chapter offers analysis on key companies that have significantly been contributing to growth of the flash dryers market, in terms of product portfolio, mergers & acquisitions, marketing strategies, revenue shares, and company overview.

In 2008, Maurice Gunning travelled to Buenos Aires and began interviewing and photographing the Argentine Irish Diaspora. Over three months he met with all the Argentine Irish organisations of the city and explored the vast farmland areas of Buenos Aires Province. The Irish Embassy of Argentina was instrumental in making introductions on his behalf and he returned to Buenos Aires in 2010 to exhibit the work under the title Encuentro-A Gathering. During this time he revisited many of the places and people he had met on his previous trip and also travelled to other locations in the province surrounding Buenos Aires. His exploration of contemporary life of the Argentine Irish Diaspora incorporates immigrant letters from Argentina to Ireland from the 1860's.
David Monahan's series Leaving Dublin is a photographic tribute to the courage and efforts of those who have left their homeland. For over two years now, he has been capturing emigrants as they prepare to leave Ireland in search of better opportunities abroad. His images have a heroic touch, as if to celebrate the person, to show they are full of pride, full of dignity, that they are strong, upright and confident. In this sense, the exhibition Living-Leaving brings together two strands of one and the same story, and reminds us that the intensely personal decision to emigrate will not only dramatically shape the future lives of those who leave, but also has a huge impact on those left behind.
Maurice Gunning
Maurice Gunning is an Irish photographer based in Dublin and Limerick. He is currently Photographer in Residence with Dance Ireland for 2012. As part of this residency there is an exhibition at Dance House, Dublin incorporating earlier dance work created at the University of Limerick with Mary Nunan and Mary Wycherly. In 2006 Maurice was invited by the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick to be the Photographer in Residence and a permanent exhibition was opened there of his work in 2010.
Maurice was grant funded by the Irish Heritage Council from 2006 – 2009 to document Ireland's Traditional Boat Heritage. This work has been exhibited in The Cultural Centre Athens, Greece in 2009 and the Hunt Museum, Limerick in 2010. Maurice has also worked in Belarus with the Burren Chernobyl Project and this work has recently been exhibited in Dublin this year and in Minsk in 2011. In 2010, Maurice worked as cinematographer in Chile on the mining documentary, The Chile 33 which received a worldwide release through Off the Fence Distribution.

Guide to Portugal
A Quick Guide to Portugal Our guide to Portugal includes a quick introduction to Portugal and its regions and its weather. An Introduction to Portugal 3000 hours of sunshine a year, long golden beaches and attractive, historical towns have always drawn visitors to Portugal. It is rightly famous for its great hospitality and food and the Rough Guide to Portugal describes it as 'astonishingly beautiful'. So it's quite surprising that some of the most spectacular parts of the country don't get the attention that they deserve. These hidden corners are one of the reasons that we love Portugal. Even in the most popular areas there is always somewhere new to explore, something new to try- experiences that take you to the heart of the country and its people. Why come to Portugal? One of the country's big attractions is that there really is something for everyone intriguing cities a rich culture and history, exciting nightlife and world class restaurants, gorgeous countryside, lots to do and see and of course sun and endless sandy beaches! You can dance 'til dawn in the party towns of the Algarve, sample the sophistication of Lisbon or saunter through flowering valleys and ancient woods full of birdsong. Want to do it all? If you like hassle-free holidays there are excellent resorts that will organise lots of different activities and trips for you. Independent travellers will find plenty of hotels, B&Bs and flats to rent and from a single base you could easily, for example spend one day learning to bodyboard at the beach, the next browsing the stalls at a traditional market and a third pony trekking through the hills. This flexibility makes Portugal a great family destination and many sports and adventure companies have special provision for kids, giving mum and dad the freedom to

Ancient North Americans Played High-stakes Games
From games of chance to tests of physical skill, ancient North America Indians took their sport and recreation seriously, research shows.
"Games are ubiquitous. Every society seems to have them," says Barbara Voorhies, a research professor of anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Gambling was especially prevalent—because with nothing at stake the games would simply be incredibly boring.
"Based on the ethnographic record, gambling must be very deep-seated in human prehistory because it shows up everywhere, from the arctic to the tropical lowlands, and in hunter-gatherer to more complex societies," says Voorhies, a specialist in archaeology, human ecology, and Mesoamerica. "It's everywhere."

Voorhies is editor of a new book, Prehistoric Games of North American Indians: Subarctic to Mesoamerica (University of Utah Press, 2017), that examines the role of games among ancient indigenous people throughout North America.
For the book, 20 archaeologists looked at how games fit into the social logic of ancient societies; how games influence economies, religion, politics, and health care; and how they promote cooperation or competition among participants.
Some of the findings derive from diaries of Spaniards who arrived in Central Mexico. They described a dice game the Aztecs played, and it seems the ancient Maya enjoyed similar games.
"Dice games are pretty widespread across the continent," says Voorhies, who is also a contributor to the book. "By and large they are women's games," though not in these two societies. There were also several types of ball games played across Mesoamerica, some played with rubber balls.

"One generalization we can make about North American games is that women play against women and men play against men," Voorhies says. "Gambling might be between the players, but also among onlookers."
Sisters might have played a dice game and bet on who would cook dinner or get firewood. Sometimes, people would gamble on a game with the loser becoming the winner's slave for a time.
Voorhies' interest in ancient games began in 1988 when she was excavating a shell mound in southern Mexico. On a floor-like surface, she found a puzzling semicircular pattern of 24 holes, with a rock imprint in its center.
"It looked like somebody was playing marbles," she says. "That was the first thing that occurred to me. At the time I didn't think anybody in Mesoamerica played marbles so I discounted that and was perplexed about this whole thing."

Then in 2009, she returned to the site, expanded the excavation to expose more of the floor, and found several more of the same features. "Whatever it was, people were doing it a lot. So I renewed my efforts to figure out what it was."
A colleague referred her to American ethnographer Stewart Culin's 1907 book titled Games of the North American Indians , considered to be the most complete work ever prepared on the games of North American Indians living during Culin's lifetime.
She then realized her discovery in Mexico was most likely a game board, since it closely resembled dice game scoreboards from several groups in the American southwest and northwest Mexico that Culin describes in his book.

My daughter will be turning 26 in 3 weeks.
As most of you know, she is on the long and rocky road to recovery from anorexia and other behavioral health issues - diagnosed and otherwise.
We have been on this journey with her for nearly 5 years now.
Her bio dad, her bonus dad and I have invested much money, time and made many sacrifices to help her get well and on track to recovery and onto a successful life.
When we found that she was in dire straits with the anorexia while at university, we got her into IP treatment. She has been in five different treatment places. We have spent a small fortune on her - treatment, therapists, nutritionists, you name it. She had 20 sessions of CBT for her social anxiety, 2 years of talk therapy, now exposure therapy, etc. etc. etc. We have paid for many, many months of a recovery yoga coach and a nutritional coach.
The last treatment place she left was in July 2010; she was fully weight restored and managed to get a retail job (which she continues to work at) and she maintained her weight for more than 20 months while living home with us.
We went to an FBT therapist in hopes of getting her to the next level and on the pathways to independence, relapse prevention and hoped that she would get the cbt or dbt therapy that we bargained for.
Moving forward didn't happen; in fact, we had relapse.
Going from blind to open weighing our daughter without providing therapeutic support (among other things) was too triggering for her and resulted in a relapse.
Her bio dad did not know her weight until we went to the open weighing.
He told me that he was "shocked" to find out "how high" her weight was.
For months, driving her back and forth to the FBT, they got into discussions about the weight. He asked me (and ED professionals) to produce 'evidence' to support the idea that she COULD be a lower weight. Well, unfortunately, he got his 'evidence' in his own daughter's relapse.
We continue to try and help her get the 5-7 pounds up to restore her to her healthy target range. But now he is burning out and frankly, so are we (myself and my husband).
She is bright young woman, high achiever in high school and at university, but now what we have on our hands is someone who has become comfortable with going through the motions and failing to launch her life.
She has not had to launch her life or take ownership of management of her disorders.
Why? Her parents have done most everything for her.
She has become comfortable using us to solve her problems for her.
She alternates between her bio dad's home and ours.
At neither place does she have any really firm boundaries.
She pays no rent anywhere yet she earns money at her near full time job.
Her dad pays for therapy and we split the cost of the coaches.
We pay for her food.
The only thing that she really pays for is her car insurance and personal spending.
In essence, we have allowed her 'being sick and needing help' to stand in the way of her growth.
We parents have now seen the insanity of this.
Part of her staying 'sick' may be that by being 'sick' she doesn't NEED to grow up and take responsibility for her own actions and for her life.
She is fully functional at work - both in retail and at my office.
But at home, she turns into a helpless person.
I don't want to see her become the 'sick girl living in her parents' basement'.
She makes limited attempts at improving her work situation, although she says that she wants to - she was offered a good paying office job in my company, tried it for a few days, loved the work, and now she changes her mind.
She makes limited attempts at socializing and building relationships with people.
She does yoga but with no discipline attached to practices.
Her recovery coach gets frustrated with her because she is 'hot and cold' on yoga practice and her other life skills home work assignments.
She has trouble regulating her emotions, but will not seek DBT therapy to help herself. She sees a therapist but really just 'goes through the motions' most of the time.
We are thinking about giving her some options about housing, managing her own life and recovery, and setting boundaries for her.
I think the lack of boundaries is what drives my husband the most crazy.
Any suggestions from those of you with adult children, Carrie or others?
Any input that you have would be most appreciated.
Should we do this with the help of her therapist or family therapist?
My Dear SL - I feel so sad reading your post. I know all you and your D have been through and the obstacles you have faced. I know that I was where you are four years ago having seen my D live a life with her ED from age 13-22 - with no hope that she could recover. I felt like we were failures and that she didn't want to get better.
Boy was I wrong and I attribute all to her need for accurate and full weight restoration first and foremost. You were making progress with your D until she had that relapse and she's been stuck there for a year I believe.
The problem with all the money spent on therapies that are not helpful is that it makes us angry and feel like "Why isn't she able to get better with all I'm providing?"
But the reality is that therapists who don't really understand eating disorders, only serve to perpetuate them.
What your D has needed after the last relapse was to get her accurately and fully weight restored again, so she can maintain it, and her brain can heal. Then she can benefit from therapy and learn coping skills for life. She can learn to take risks and find things she wants to do - what her real passion is.
Four years ago, I never thought my D had much of a chance for a life without her ED. I felt that she would always need my help in some way.
She's made tremendous gains in the past year - some of it with my help but in a different way - because I do believe that when someone has been ill for a long time, they feel that the main people in their life (parent/s) are the most important to them.
She needs to get back to her accurate and fully WR range before she can do any of the other things you are hoping she can do as an independent young adult.
Third is learning coping skills and finding age appropriate outlets.
I understand your sorrow, fear, and disillusionment. But your D has been with bioDad who kept her weight far too low for far too long.
If there is a way to talk with her current therapist to come up with a good solid plan to help your D get back on track for recovery - then you might feel less hopeless.
I am technologically challenged, and tired, tonight so will post more fully tomorrow.
I just wanted to say that we too are facing a similar situation. Our daughter is 26. She lives at home, largely in our back bedroom. She doesn't contribute to the family finances. She doesn't contribute much to the household chores. She doesn't work either and has just been judged as unfit for work by the state but given no assistance and pointers as to what she/we are supposed to do about making her fitter.
I too would welcome suggestions on how we can help her through stage II and III, bearing in mind that we were pretty rotten at Stage I but finally seem to be sort of getting there.
Maybe time for a Dr. Ravin column on Successful Launching?? She's always got good thoughts and might be persuaded to write them down.
Maybe I am going off on one here but is this a more deep philosophical question than it appears? There have always been "stay at home" children, those who do not launch into stellar careers or marry a Duke or some such. Indeed, in Italy, sons don't leave home (or contribute to the household) until they are in their 30's, these days. There always seems to be a spinster aunt in novels, who remains within the household, doing the mending and nursing their parents in their old age.
Are we measuring them by modern-day post-feminist standards? Are they practising their own self care by remaining in the family home where they feel secure and able to inch forward in recovery? Are we setting standards too high for them?
Not that I don't have an enormous amount of sympathy with all of you and understand your frustration but, living in a slightly surreal "Bevan enclave" here, where the whole of my h's immediate family lives in a 2 mile radius (and, yes, I know all the jokes about the Ewings!), I don't find it that all strange for children to remain "at home" until they are much older. Should we be considering granny annexes for them?
I don't have any answers either but wanted you to know how much I admire your strength and courage. I have followed your story for a long time. I wonder about chipping away at this one step at a time. For example, you might decide between you all that your d gradually start taking more financial responsibility for herself (buying gas, food or paying for housing). Our d has moved out but we pay for almost everything right now. We did tell her that if she's moving out she would need to take responsibility for her rent right now. I guess our plan is to gradually require her to take more control and responsibility over time. All my best.
I agree with you 100% Charlotte. In many cultures people do live at home into their 30's and when they are ready to get married. Isn't that the way in Italy?
We have also had a huge shift here in the States due to the economy where young people can't get jobs after college or at least high enough paying jobs to support their own place and other expenses.
What we did with my D who is around SL's D's age was to encourage independent behaviors while living at home.
That included doing chores, helping to pay part of the expenses, etc.
My D lived at home throughout her recovery until she was strong enough to move on her own and had been WR/maintained long term. She worked on her comorbid condition with a wonderful trauma EMDR therapist. She worked at a job she liked to develop skills and prepare her for her current schooling.
She took some classes to get her brain working again.
In other words, I used the time at home to keep it a peaceful place so she could recover and gain these skills at the same time. She worked on social anxiety and other issues while at home to prepare her for when she would go out on her own one day because that was her goal.
But this is all really difficult as we all know when the brain is malnourished it is hard to think clearly.
I love the idea of chipping away at one thing at a time, to solidify that gain and then move on to the next. Somehow when we expect too many things at once, nothing gets accomplished for them to internalize the gain.
I found that the best I could do to help my D was to talk things over with her to encourage her own problem solving and finding solutions, plans, etc.
What we found was that tackling one thing at a time in a very consistent way for fear extinction was what helped my D who was full of fears and avoidant of tackling them.
It takes time, patience, and changing of our expectations.
In this world we live in - there are too many Shoulds to keep up with others and I feel that all of our children's situations are unique. Meeting them where they are helps to gain acceptance and lessen our frustration.
I know that the ED and co-morbids are often a tangled knot, but is it your impression that this specific phenomenon is largely anxiety-driven? That is what it sounds like to me. Our D struggles mightily with anxiety, and especially social anxiety, and she often expresses despair and worry that it will never get better. As a matter of philosophy/principle, she would be welcome to stay in our home forever, if it comes to that, but I would worry that (1) she would feel unfulfilled and unhappy with that life, which is surely not what she had hoped for herself; and (2) I would worry about her future, for the time when H and I might not be here to provide for her. I am guessing that this is much of what is worrying you as well. I wish I knew an answer, but I think that all you can "require" someone to do is the tangible stuff - maintain a certain objective weight, attend appointments, etc. You can't make them want to expend the effort, endure the discomfort and pain, fight against their urges, etc. And I think that battling massive anxiety is in fact enormously painful and difficult. It probably requires that a person gather strength and confidence before they feel ready to face it. I think that is where the insight, desire for recovery, and ownership of recovery must come into play. That has to come from inside. I have to believe that if they maintain physical health, stay engaged in a loving family, and continue to have opportunities to get help, they will find their way when the time is right for them. Thinking of how I might handle this if we are in this position in future yerars, I know I will have to battle my own worries, instinctive tendency to push and force the result or schedule I consider best.
Here is where the AA/12 step mentality for families makes some sense to me. Take care of yourself, remain loving and strong but don't be an enabler, trust in the higher power and let the other person find their way because you can't control all of this. You have been heroic and loving but you are not omnipotent. I think the story has a happy ending, but some of it must be authored by the patient.
Without trying to be overly critical, my ex husband/daughter's bio dad's involvement in her recovery seems to be the common denominator for things going off course and recovery being so elusive.
Anyone who has followed our story knows the challenges that I have had.
When we first learned that daughter had anorexia, it took my husband and I so long to convince my ex that she needed treatment.
He wanted no part of that idea.
She moved in with him and due to a medical emergency and much prompting from us, she got into treatment.
She was IP for 3 months and once discharged at 80 percent of weight, her dad approved her to go ADO back to university.
It was a disaster. She went back IP in 3x worse shape than the first round.
Once she was out of treatment, her bio dad didn't want her to come back home to us because our home was 'too triggering'.
He didn't even want her to live in the same city as us, so I compromised and had her live with my mother while she went to IOP.
My dear mother kept her on track for nearly 2 months.
So then he finally 'allowed' her to come home to us.
For nearly 2 years, we got her back on track.
He saw her for one dinner a week during that time.
Once we decided that she needed the next step - pathways to independence, cbt/dbt, relapse prevention - we all went as a family to an FBT.
He drove her to and fro to the FBT who did open weighing.
Both daughter and ex were 'shocked' to find out about her 'too high weight'.
He seemed to be moved shocked than she was.
For months, he debated me over the weight and said that it wasn't 'normal' for her to be that high.
So the triangulation began all over again.
She wanted to live with him for awhile. He was convinced that he could get her back up in weight.
It was a disaster (as always).
She has dropped at least 7 pounds.
He has just bought a house in the mountains miles away from here.
His goal is to get an apartment here for the two of them and without several months, get her to live there on her own.
Right now she is staying with us.
Once again, my husband and I are the 'clean up crew'.
I am getting weight on her again. She is up a pound this week and eating the food I serve.
All the foods that bio dad tells me that 'she won't eat' she is eating with us.
By the way, her bio dad insists that she can gain weight on 2,100 calories.
I try to tell him that she MAINTAIN a healthy weight on 2,500 calories.
I am absolutely convinced that this nightmare would have been over for us all had bio dad stayed out of the picture.
This is my biggest frustration.
As long as my daughter has a 'safe haven' and ED has an 'ally' with bio dad, recovery seems so elusive.
By the way, my daughter has been with us all week and has never mentioned her bio dad one time.
PS - He sent me an email last night telling me about the apartments that he looked at yesterday.
He wants to spring the idea on daughter today.
The other problem that I have is that my husband / her bonus dad has had it up to his eyebrows all of this.
Wenlow gave me an idea to add an extension on to my house to keep the peace until daughter is back on track.
I am so not sure what to do any more.
PS - Bio dad is bone thin, and that is another problem. Our family therapist asked him if he thought that his own body shape and body image might contribute to our daughter thinking that she needs to be that thin, too. He admitted that our daughter told him ... "I wish that I had YOUR abbs."
I don't have experience with a YA but I want to address the cultural element because I am Hispanic and lived in South America until I was 18. I also spent several months in Southern Europe and found it to be very similar to South America.
It is true that from a Western perspective, children in many cultures have a "failure to launch". However, I don't think it is the same as what SL is describing.
In these cultures, there is a HUGE chasm between the expectations placed on men and women in the home and there is also a tremendous gap between the expectations of people who are upper and middle class and people who are poor. Taking into account those variables, YAs in those cultures are active participants in the family life. This may range from contributing financially to the household, to taking active part in cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. In the upper classes, guys do NOTHING in terms of house work of paying for anything. However, they still participate in the life of the family and Mom is the boss of them. In the low income households many young men become the head of the household since the father is often absent. Culturally speaking, they move from their home (or not) to their own homes when they get married. If they don't get married, the expectation is that the women will take care of the parents as they age, not the other way around. There is almost like a weight of responsibility that falls on the shoulders of the child (generally women but sometimes men) who stays home living with the parents, after the other sibs have moved out. Charlotte described this in the case of the spinster daughter, etc.
Regardless, of the cultural element, I think what SL is talking about is that the element of responsibility, motivation and ownership for her life is missing from her daughter's life. To that point, I have no advice.
I don't understand how sending a young adult who is suffering from an eating disorder to live on her own will help facilitate her recovery/remission. I DO see how having her continue to live at home with the parent who will stand firm against ED behaviors for as long as it takes would be the healthy thing. As wenWinning says, there are so many behaviors that are necessary for mature/independent living that can be practiced and mastered while living at home with a parent.
My D wanted out and has lived out of our home (except for a few months after a psych hospitalization) for 8 years now. She had just binge eaten herself out of an AN relapse and was still bingeing when she left. It has been an extraordinarily difficult uphill climb for her with her EDs, moving between AN and BN (with laxatives) and binge eating. She has suffered so much, and is still suffering, although she is finally doing better. I think that any effort to keep a person with an ED at home with a parent who will fight the ED is the way that will bring about earlier recovery/remission and the health that is necessary for truly independent living. My D has gone through so much unnecessary pain because we did not find a way to keep her at home.
Your situation, SL, with your D being able to run to her biodad's house was ideal for the perpetuation of her AN. So now biodad is moving far away and he wants her to be living away from both of you? With some unsuspecting roommate? Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. Perhaps she could live permanently with you, until she is healthy. As long as she is working, you could charge her rent.
That's exactly what bio dad wants.
He is convinced that daughter needs to be 'independent'.
That's fine, when she is ready.
That is exactly what I wanted for her one year ago and why we went to FBT - one of the goals was pathways to independence - as she was weight restored for nearly 2 years then.
But now - we have a completely different situation on our hand.
We have a relapse that daughter (with support) needs to pull herself out of.
I have seen very good signs this week that she can.
She is eating most of the foods that I am presenting to her - with the exception of the 1st day of her menstrual when things were tough.
BUT - when bio dad is on the scene, it never works out.
He thinks that he knows it all.
He does okay for awhile, and then things go off course.
How can you be the primary decision maker in all of this if you cannot grasp that 20 BMI is NOT acceptable for recovery because you, yourself, are a "healthy man" of 58 years old with a 21 BMI when YOU in fact are BONE THIN??? How can you be the primary decision maker when you think that it is 'unnatural' for our daughter to be a 21 BMI and you become "shocked" when you find that she has been maintaining "an unnatural weight of 22 BMI" for almost 2 years??? How can you be the primary decision maker when you think that she can 'gain weight on 2,100 calories' when she maintained 7-10 pounds higher on 2,500 or more???
How can you be the primary decision maker when you allow ED to run the show? When you are afraid to present new foods and up the calories for fear that 'people will be asking if she is pregnant again if her tummy gets larger'???
My mother used to say "Some people are just not teachable."
Bio dad is one of those people.
We have been on this journey for nearly five years now.
He should have it 'down' by now, but he doesn't - he has pieces of it - but that's not good enough.
Thanks to you all - and especially Wenlow for her idea - I spoke to my daughter this morning.
She had just completed - with my encouragement - a big bowl of hearty steel cut oats and raisins with milk, a large glass of OJ and six stewed prunes.
I told my daughter about how her dad was excited about his new home in the mountains and how he said he wanted to travel a bit.
And yet he wants to have an apartment close to her as well.
So I told her that my idea is to add an extra room and bath in our home so that her bonus dad could have a 'man cave space', she could have her space until and if she was ready to go on her own and what did she think about that idea?
We could also have a guest room to accommodate 'daddy' staying from time to time.
She smiled - beamed actually - and said "Yes, I like that idea."
We already have a estimate on this remodel and the plans.
We had thought about doing this months ago.
So - now this morning - I have to break this idea to the gents involved.
Any input on this idea???
I also have no answers but an watching this thread closely to hear what others do. Our D is 19 and living with us (mostly) unless she doesn't like some limit or boundary we set,or a tone we use or the way we look at her or...Then she runs off to her boyfriends for a couple days. I think this is meant to punish us or to avoid taking responsibility for herself. She does not contribute to the household either financially or with chores even though she is working. A typical YA behaving like this would have been kicked out by now but we feel we need to keep her here so at least we have some amount of ability to care for her. Though sometimes I wonder if she should try it and see what happens. Will watch for what others say.
I am glad that I've opened up a conversation that may have been long overdue on this forum.
I appreciate your commenting on your own situation.
Many of us parents of young adults/adults have similiar concerns/fears that need to be heard.
How much do you think the length of her illness has contributed to her - for the want of a better expression - lack of maturity. I have heard about (Carrie) and read studies that some patients can be stuck in early adolescent or, indeed, age of onset for a long time, despite their chronological age? The life experience and maturity of a non-ed 26 year old is different from one who has been ill on and off, for as long as your daughter has?
What you are describing to me IS my 17 year old d at this moment in time. It is not that she doesn't love us but she is unwilling to accept responsibility but wishes to be treated as a "grown up". However, doing odd jobs (emptying the dishwasher for example) tends to involve much eye rolling, sighing and demands for answers to such questions as "Do you know how tired I am? How hard I am working at the moment? etc etc". The Bank of Mum & Dad are also being SOOOOO "mean" when suggesting that she gets an allowance and that is what she should buy birthday presents for friends/make up/cinema tickets etc etc from.
I am in no way trying to dismiss your situation and have nothing but sympathy for you. This disorder is so darn hard and then we have to cope with all the other stuff on top of it.
It seems that what you're describing about you daughter's behavior does appear to be largely anxiety-driven and sort of a secondary symptom of the ED. Some sufferers (not naming names or anything, but it's one I see every time I look in the mirror!) have the opposite problem: the drive to be independent too early, costs be damned. It's also anxiety (fears of needing people and depending on them), just the opposite expression.
Getting her in a more stable place recovery-wise needs to come first. If she needs to stay at home for you to help her fight the AN, then that's not exactly a failure to launch. That's her inner sense of safety kicking in.
Her anxiety about her leaving and becoming independent could be two-fold. Like above, it could be that her ED thoughts are quieter around you and recovery is easier because she knows you will insist on her eating. Eventually, though, she has to start learning how to manage any remaining ED thoughts herself.
The other part of the anxiety is the avoidance piece. Taking responsibility for your own decisions and your own mistakes is really, really scary. It's why I never ever wanted to be the boss or the group leader: because then if things got completely stuffed, I wasn't the one whose head was going to roll. As long as you and her dads are "in charge", so to speak, it lessens her anxiety. It's why Magic Plate is useful in this respect. You're kind of Magic Plate-ing her life. Which is fine as long as it's a) temporary and b) what she really needs. Most kids want to start taking control of their food far too early in the process, but some really don't have a problem with being served by Mom and Dad because it's easier.
Letting your daughter not take responsibility for even some small things (gas, cell phone, rent, etc) might inadvertently breed a sense of helplessness. That she isn't capable of living on her own and managing for herself. Which she might not be RIGHT NOW. That's fine. What helps me tackle a big, nebulous task like Living On My Own or Recovery is to break it down into very specific tasks I need to master. It might be getting into the habit of paying bills. Having her pay you rent on the first of the month. Doing her own laundry. Helping with food prep (as appropriate for her recovery). And so on.
I empathize with your situation, too.
As to my daughter being "ill for so long", that is what really saddens me. It didn't have to be.
It just frustrates me that my daughter was doing so well - and to this very day - her bio dad just doesn't 'get' how his involvement/interference/"I know better than everyone" attitude and some of his distorted thinking about weight and recovery has put the damper on recovery possibility.
For so long, he tried to play "hero" and really believed that he was hearing from daughter and not ED when she said some of the things that she said.
Even today he continues to talk about getting an apartment with her and only moving out when she is ready for that.
And yet when she is there, he is often gone on a business trip (leaving her alone in the house) and/or allowing her to restrict her food because "she puts her foot down and won't eat that" or "she doesn't accept that she needs to be a higher weight" etc. etc. etc.
It is a totally different scenario when she is at home with us.
She feels confident in my support, as she knows that I will stand up to ED.
Now that I have finally got down the caring, compassionate, confident, consistent business, we seem to be doing really well.
Stay tuned and wish us luck.
PS - In fairness to my daughter, she does work nearly full time, pays her own gas/car insurance, etc., does do some household chores/all her own laundry/etc and visits her grandmother's residential home and sings for the residents when I suggest that she does. When she was staying with us full-time, she was paying us small amount of rent. She is seeing a therapist and her recovery/yoga coach and she does seem to be trying to get back on track right now.
The problem is that what she (or ED) tells her bio dad is so very different than what she will say to me.
Such great feedback from Charlotte, AnnieK, Carrie and others.
They are spot on - both in what keeps someone avoidant and what helps them to tackle fears in a safe place. Getting stuck at an earlier emotional development does happen to our children and that is something my D heard loud and clear from Dr. LeGrange. They simply need to make up the time for what they lost, one small step at a time.
Cathy, Your home is her safe place to recover, where she knows you will not listen to her ED. Your safe haven will help her while she is gaining back her strength nutritionally and learning those skills in how to take responsibility for herself in many ways.
She has shown a lot of responsibility and potential in many areas.
I think this relapse with weight loss that wasn't recovered, just set her back for awhile.
But you are the one who can get her back on track.
It isn't a failure to launch as Carrie said but more of her needing your safe haven until she is healthy physiologically and can sort these things out with more cognitive clarity.
I told you all I needed to do to help my D - in simple steps. She developed her own independence plan and what she felt she needed to learn in skills. And she tackled them one at a time till they felt solid and internalized.
These days it warms my heart to hear her sort out her decisions based on what her needs are - how to keep herself healthy, calm and enjoying life.
She's come a long way but it really came from almost 2 years of working through getting to know herself, her needs, wishes, desires and what it will take for her to tackle her fears in small steps that build a foundation for her.
That is something that you, her T, and the yoga coach can help her with as she gets fully nourished again.
Getting fully nourished is always the first step.
You've done a great job this week having your D back home. and she is showing that she feels safe with you. Remember,no one chooses to be ill with anorexia.
Cathy, are there any legal steps that you can take that would help you to keep bio-dad's influence out of this?
It does sound as if his participation has made things very difficult. What does she feel about him? Does she see that he is making her recovery difficult, does that bother her?
There's your starting point and you are doing great. Do you think bio dad is somewhat on the ed spectrum (for want of a better expression) himself? Could you express this view to him and explain that his views and values on weight are just not helping your d? Stated calmly, non-accusingly and with no mention of depriving him of seeing his d.
If your d likes the idea of a guest room for her father to stay - that suggests to me that she is happy to stay where she is safe but she is able to see her bio dad too. That's the best of all worlds for her.
If your h agrees to it, that sounds fantastic - you sound to have a gem of a bonus dad and h so he probably will!!
What has been a big surprise to me is how compliant with and completion of meals that my daughter has been over the past several days.
We had the meeting with my ex today.
My husband is a reluctant participant in the idea of our taking this back on full-time but he will go along with it.
He hates the idea, though, and who can blame him? He has made so many sacrifices over the past near five years.
Ex seems to be coming to terms with the idea of daughter staying with us until she is ready to be independent, as well.
But - I must admit that my daughter's going back into 'baby mode' when she is getting back on track with food seems to scare us all to a bit. She is a handful and more, that's for sure.
It's all very scary when we think ahead. I guess all we can do is take one day at a time.
PS - My daughter loves her bio dad, don't get me wrong, and his intentions are well-meaning.
But I just think that he doesn't 'get' the whole picture and ED manages to push him around.
So good to hear that your H has gone along with having your D home with you (even if reluctant) and that biodad is seeing that having her with you till she is ready to be independent is the best thing for her.
As for babymode, yes, take it one day at a time with feeding and get the support you need from others including her T and perhaps the RD you both worked with so well in the past. You also have the yoga coach who can support your team.
Mostly for now it's getting her fully fed and nourished back to where she needs to be, and just ignore the regression since that is to be expected.
One step at a time - and if possible keep working on your great outlets of yoga and meditation. Let those thoughts just be thoughts that don't consume or destroy you.
She will get there - you helped her before and you can do it again.
Biodad just didn't have the necessary understanding of her illness and what was needed and why. he was easily pushed around by her ED.
I have no solutions to offer but lots and lots of support and sympathy. You describe a situation that I find many parents who have kids with chronic mental health issues face - not just ED. As a society we simply do not offer enough understanding, support, or insight about this. It is not uncommon and as Charlotte mentions, used to be more normalized.
You also bring up a theme that many many families will recognize: a parent who is torn between the needs and tolerance of exes and steps (and other siblings, and taking care of the older generation). One parent often becomes the one negotiating it all: with treatment and with the bills and with all other family members. They're being pressed from all sides.
Let's take a moment to truly appreciate those among us who are so courageously, exhaustedly, and with dogged stamina remaining the champion for their adult children and balancing all those concerns over time. You are amazing, and deserve credit for all you're doing and for remaining caring and optimistic throughout. You CARE, and I know all of us care about you!
