Feeling misunderstood

Miss (or Mister) Misunderstood

December 15, 2018 / cbethhoffman / Leave a comment

  We live in a polar world right now, some call it  duality. Things are seen as black and white, right or wrong, good or bad, and on and on.  Duality often has us on one side and those we care about on the other.  Because ego needs to be right, it is possible that … Continue reading Miss (or Mister) Misunderstood

Does your child feel like a stray?

November 26, 2015 / cbethhoffman / Leave a comment

A conversation with a middle-schooler a few weeks back following a discussion about communicating after death was even more eye opening than the original one.  She asked me how I would come back to her after I died.  I responded,   "as a hummingbird and what about you?"  Her response was, "as a black and orange cat."  … Continue reading Does your child feel like a stray?

Following the Adolescent Mind

October 18, 2015 / cbethhoffman / Leave a comment

Earlier this week I blogged “What were you THINKING!?!”, concerning adult reaction when older children make poor decisions.   A news report concerning adolescents taking selfies on active railroad tracks, encouraged me to continue on this topic.  In the last year over 500 deaths on railroad tracks have been reported.  One of the issues is the … Continue reading Following the Adolescent Mind

Miss Misunderstood- an unpublished new story

August 26, 2015October 15, 2015 / cbethhoffman / Leave a comment

The day had seemed long when Gabby opened the back door to the kitchen. It wasn’t that she felt sad, more like empty. Unsure of why she felt this way, she knew she felt like she needed a hug, a tight one, one that said, “You are all right the way you are.” Mom was … Continue reading Miss Misunderstood- an unpublished new story

Understanding One Another

August 18, 2015October 15, 2015 / cbethhoffman / Leave a comment

I recently wrote a story entitled “Miss Misunderstood” to address the pre-teen dilemma of feeling “no one gets me”. With this on my mind, many things that I observed fit into the same category making it clear, that it isn’t an issue limited to preteens and teens. Perhaps they react more vocally than other age … Continue reading Understanding One Another
