Unprepared for Parenting (Ezzos, Pearls, Etc.) *Public* Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing.
A public forum.
Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:

23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.

Default Breakthrough for Mom..thanks Jeri, Crystal, GCM

I can't believe, but I just managed to deal with one of Gibran's infamous freak outs without wanting to whip his butt. Even though I haven't spanked him in a long time. I do usually feel like if I could just spank him good then he would stop. (My bio-dad was really abusive.)

I'm so proud..I did the happy dance. I've been praying and yearning for this since he was born. It's been so hard to work through this. And, I know I couldn't have done it without finding GCM.

Heather - that's AWESOME!!! Congratulations! I know how hard that can be when you've come from a very punitive background. It's difficult to get out of the punitive mindset but once you break free of that, life is wonderfult!!!

Thanks everyone. I still can't believe it. I. was really able to focus on the real problem instead of fighting with myself and my problems.
