Struggling with Hate based on prejudice

I am really struggling with what feels like a rising level of prejudice bases fear in my local community and our world. 

I fear what this rise will mean for the future in my lifetime. my daughters and generations beyond.

Seeing the increased hatred of immigrants and refugees, LGBTQ2S+ or anyone seen as hurts my heart. Immigrants enrich our world, my community, and my life in countless ways. 



I know EVERY Canadian unless they are an immigrant themselves has ancestors that were immigrants. Whether that was a generation ago or so far back there is no record. Humanity did not originate here. We all came from somewhere else.


Every one of us is a unique member of the global community. No two people have had the same life. 

Far too many people are willing to make choices for others based on their own prejudices instead of having a discussion with "the others".

I struggle with how I can effect a truly positive change to this negative direction to help with the righting the course of it.

The Bear

For 190 days I have been locked in a daily ritual with Kiddo's teddy bear. Amber the bear and I have a nightly date. At bedtime, we have a cuddle and I whisper all of my love to Kiddo through Amber. As I rub the bear's fur above the forehead like Kiddo has loved from the day they were born. I tell Kiddo how much I love them, how proud I am of the person they are growing into, my wished for them to have a great nights sleep and a most beautiful day the next day. That I know they love me deeply that they are getting that message through to me and it is speaking louder than the hurtful ones they feel compelled to give because of struggles I know they are having from the choice they told me their dad was making them make. That they are very much missed not only at that moment but always. I tell Kiddo I am here for them and when they are ready to come home. Our love is strong and we will work beyond this. Then after giving the Amber bear a ton of kisses I set it in its place with on...

The Fear

As a survivor of an adolescent suicide attempt I unconscionably surrounded myself with many other survivors as well. This was helpful during Kiddos early admitted struggle with suicidal ideation. Everyone reached out with their tales of survival for Kiddo. Hopefully it still helpful as Kiddo. All self harming by Kiddo that I am aware of to date has been rudimentary. I know they are still struggling you can see it living within their eyes. I live in fear of not being able to get the help they need to also become a survivor story.

I am my child's answer...

I KNOW I am my child's answer. I have never doubted this. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJjJNKpekw0 ) I have sought assistance to help me help my child with their challenges for many years. We have hit a lot of brick walls many times because of resistance being created by the AP. Kiddo' challenges are at least partially created by APs alienating behavior. How do I get all of the "professionals" that are now enabling the continued escalation of alienation by the AP to get the hell out of the way of the over a decade of deep attachment roots I fostered with kiddo? Kiddo would love (and tried for at least five years) with the AP while maintaining our attachment. Kiddo feels forced to choose one or the other. Kiddo sat many times sobbing in my arms saying they needed to choose. They could not love both. They have been told they cannot love both parents. [I tried for the first ten years of kiddos life to get AP to engage in kiddos life and then realized I was ...
