It happens all to often, but it's a shame when parents who have major problems pass them onto their children. Actually, you probably know more about that than you want to Lois.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-88128078772675190762015-10-18T10:18:36.877-04:002015-10-18T10:18:36.877-04:00I think we're lucky to have found each other. ...I think we're lucky to have found each other. I also spent a lot of time with her older brother who was my son's best friend for many years. Then they parted ways as her brother took the path of drugs and crime. He didn't have any developmental disabilities, but he did live in the same family mess.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-83634977673410038582015-10-17T23:09:52.758-04:002015-10-17T23:09:52.758-04:00I too have a special needs neighbor and a discussi...I too have a special needs neighbor and a discussion he and I had the other day made me think of Kimmy. I wondered if she still visited you. She is very lucky to have you near by. From you short description of what I am sure is only part of what goes on in her life I would have to agree her home situation could be better. My neighbor, while still in school, stays in his room most of the time with his video games too. When he comes out he has a hand held game that goes with him every where. The few times he's put it down is when he comes over here wanting to help in the yard.Loishttp://theecograndma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-71918841602402433942015-10-15T11:50:47.132-04:002015-10-15T11:50:47.132-04:00I'm glad she has such a kind neighbor as you, ...I'm glad she has such a kind neighbor as you, to show her another world out there.Strayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124298302997708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-3715699958788741472015-10-13T15:02:41.515-04:002015-10-13T15:02:41.515-04:00Thanks, Anne.

I'd be frustrated, too, that she has been pulled out of school ... but somehow I don't think it's coincidence that she lives next door to you.
