I spoke to my daughter Christy yesterday as she called to wish me a Happy Mother's Day. I haven't seen her since last July. When I was at her house I find that my son-in-law was still being the BULLY that he has always been. I became upset when I found out that he got made at my grandson (8 years old) and squezzed his jaws so tight that his teeth hurt. My daughter was not with them when this happened. In the past I have seen my son-in-law kick his children whenever they acted up. My daughter always said I was always over reacting. He still yells at my daughter and the children. I have researched his behavior and believe him to be a narcisstic bully. In any event I told my daughter about what her husband did to my grandson and also told her that the Nanny was aware of it too. So my daughter took my grandson to his physician to have his mouth looked at. The physician couldn't find any damage. My daughter told me she is very unhappy but doesn't know what to do about it.
In any event, after my trip to see my daughter in July, I wrote about the problems on Dr. Phil's website. Apparently my son-in-law is paranoid because he went on my daughters computer and read the emails I sent her (with a copy of what I sent to Dr. Phil), and he was enraged!! He checks her cell phone for incoming and outgoing calls and messages!
As a result of my posting on Dr. Phil (and he checks the website all the time) my daughter is not allowed to see me or call me.
So my daughter will sneak a call to me every couple of months. I don't care what my son-in-law thinks but it hurts me so much that she does not demand the right to see me.
A little background....My daughter and her husband live in a 1.5 Million dollar house, they both have very good paying jobs, they have all the perks of high income families, nannies, mercedes, expensive vacations, etc. My daughter was raised in a low income environment and her husband was from an upper income environment. I think my daughter was impressed by all this and I don't blame her at all. They have 3 children.
My son-in-law has always treated us with disrespect. He classified us as "simple". He is forever the bully with my daughter and the children.
I believe my daughter has chosen to stay in her marriage because she doesn't want to give up her lifestyle. I can understand that.
However, what hurts so very very much is that she allows him to tell her she can't see me. call me, or email me.
I'm not quite sure what to do about it.

Illegal Immigrants
I don't understand why illegal immigrants feel they have the right to live in the US without applying for citizenship. They do not pay any form of tax. They receive free healthcare, while we don't offer that to our elderly, homeless, and many of the families of US veterans! It is appalling to think that they have a right to stay here when we have enough problems in our country already.
Why can't they become a citizenship within the legal process? In Florida and California there are so many illegal immigrants and I wonder why no one makes them leave until they are ready to apply for citizenship? Why are they even allowed to get free healthcare, food stamps, etc?

Cho Seung-Hui =No Motive
News is reporting that investigators in the VA Tech shootings still cannot find a motive for Cho's actions.
It is apparent that the school is lacking in protection for the students. It is also apparent that the school officials ignored the warning signs marked by Cho's behavior as reported by his instructors.
When viewing the video and other articles of Cho, I feel he is filled with rage at a system that couldn't help him. Didn't acknowledge him unless they made fun of him.
It appears that new policy and procedures need to be developed for all school campuses.
The authorities at VA Tech said they responded to Cho's "stalking" actions but did ANYONE take the time to perhaps find out how to help this enraged sole?
He was bullied and he didn't know how to handle it. There should be mandatory training on the effects of bullying, methods to report it, as well as sanctions for doing it.

Cho Seung-Hui
I read on one of the news website's that our soldiers want to know why there has been so much publicity about the VA massacre, when our troops are killed everyday! Even Bush called over to Afg and told them to lower the flag to half mast in honor of the school victims!! Why don't we do this for our soldiers??
I certainly don't want to discount the tragedy at VA Tech. I just want the people to remember our soldiers and their families as well.

Cho Seung-Hui
The more and more I read about Cho, the more I think his actions could have been prevented. At least some of them. When some people are bullied, especially for a long time, their only release is rage and/or taking their own life.
What I can't understand is why "bullying" is an accepted form of behavior. Why aren't there laws to protect people from this kind of behavior? We developed "stalking" laws.
If people would stop and think before they laughed at someone, made fun of someone, spread gossip about someone, they perhaps the victims of bullying will decrease. Yes, Cho was a very sick individual, and what he did is unforgiveable. But don't some of the students need to examine their own hearts, to determine why they make fun of people? Is it their own insecurities? News reports that students say he didn't have nice clothes. So what? They say his family was poor. He had a credit card to buy weapons didn't he? Where did that come from?
In Florida, when classes begin, the doors are locked. Why isn't that the cases in all schools? Why aren't there metal detectors, or security cubes on these school canpuses?
That campus should have been locked down immediately after the first incident! Cho apparently had time to go to the post office and mail that package to NBC! He apparently had enough knowledge that no one would stop him from returning to the campus and continuing on his rampage!
Just like the killing at NASA, we become complacent in our worlds.

Cho Seung-Hui
I have just read on NBC that they received a package from Co Seung-Hui that has included pictures, video and a journal of some sort.
Other bloggers are reporting that both his parents have tried to commit suicide. I believe we will hear a great deal more from this very sick individual. Does anyone think his parents were aware of anything? Could Cho have been sexually abused? (I'm asking that based on the contents of his plays).
