@grecy095, absolutely!! Seeing a parent being abused can also cause problems in one’s life as well. Some times we fall into situations that are abused parents go through, thinking that that is the way all women should be treated and that’s NOT right either. Glad you mentioned this, because you witnessed abuse to your mother and that can have ef…[Read more]

JoDee Stout started the topic Abuse…. in the forum Health Issues 8 years, 6 months ago
I grew up in an abusive household…mental, physical and sexual abuse. In a recent blog (that is awaiting approval) I wrote about how I suffer flashbacks from the verbal abuse. I know in past relationships I fell for abusive partners because I thought that was the “norm.”
Abuse has health issues, like when the physical abuse, you suffer brok…[Read more]

@morgoodie, exactly, some times the children put their parents in nursing homes and then NEVER come see them. This not only happens in nursing homes but with mentally challenged adults as well. The family puts them some place where they’re taken care of and then are “ashamed” and never see them again.
If the younger generation would visit wi…[Read more]
@kaka135, yes the parents got along with their children. The children apparently could take seeing their parent in a nursing home, yet they were unable to take care of them. Maybe the child felt guilty about sending their parent to the nursing home, but why NOT come to see them to make sure they are taken care of.
As far as their health i…[Read more]
@grecy095, yes sissy..I use to work in nursing homes. Some families NEVER see the people that they put in nursing homes. That’s why there is such a demand for people to work in nursing homes as well. You don’ t get to spend personal time with each individual that is there because most nursing homes are understaffed. A “loving” nursing hom…[Read more]

JoDee Stout started the topic Eating Disorders…. in the forum Health Issues 8 years, 6 months ago
There was a time after I separated from my husband, I went through a bout of depression and not eating. In fact I didn’t eat for days. I was like a zombie walking around. I would be looking at t.v. and some one would ask me what I was watching and I didn’t have a clue.
I then started eating and I kept “thinking” how fat I was. I would eat a…[Read more]
I try to stay away from doctors. I think some times you get sick from the patients in the waiting room while you’re waiting to see the doctor!! lol
JoDee Stout replied to the topic Why did you get fat? in the forum Health & Fitness 8 years, 6 months ago
I fall in the sedentary group, as I have arthritis in my back. All (or at least most of my fat) is in my stomach. I also had my gallbladder removed. I also use to work outside the home as well. Maybe it’s age too!! I want to get a pedometer or fitbit to see how many steps I walk a day!!
I think the younger generation could learn a lot from us seniors, instead of putting them in nursing homes and just leaving them there. I mean after all , all the modern technology was invented before..it was just improved on. The younger generation could lean a lot from their seniors! 😉

To save on money for food, I’ve been growing a garden. Now there is some investment at first, like seeds, but once you start growing your own food you can save your seeds and the next year you already have your seeds. With growing your own food, you can can or freeze your food. In fact from last years garden, we are still eating cucumber, to…[Read more]
