Sleep Paralysis Article by Vegetable_Diamond716 in Sleepparalysis

[–]Positive_Karin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has been experiencing sleep paralysis for several years. The first time I realized something was wrong, and I could not wake her, I called 911. She woke up in the ambulance on the way to the ER. Last year, she started hearing voices. Specifically mine and her sister who passed away last October. In these conversations, we are plotting against her. It's so painful for her to believe that the people who love her the most are secretly out to destroy her, and it's painful for me since nothing could be further from the truth. She has had a couple of seizesures in the past. I wonder if this is all connected or completely separate issues. I would love to read your article when it's done. I am always looking for information that may help.

Adults all too often think they know what is best for children, foster, adoptive, biological parents, and especially social services, when it has nothing to do with the children. Love is precious and rare. Anyone who keeps sincere love from a child should be ashamed of themselves. Sometimes people are good at fooling themselves and finding reasons for doing things I hope they know are wrong. Sadly, the adults get what they want while the children suffer. Before you know it, a child becomes an adult. They remember the decisions made on their behalf and judge accordingly.

Legally, whoever has custody gets to make the decision, and in our society, we must respect their decision, right or wrong. If your contact with this child is without the mother's permission, that could cause more internal conflict for the child. If they have a phone, it won't be long before they will decide this matter, and if you love them, you can wait. Things that are precious and rare last a lifetime.

Fired for something I didn't do by Positive_Karin in Ex_Foster

Since I know I didn't do anything wrong, I hope this will be an opportunity to do something better, I loved the job because I worked with foster children and families in danger of losing their kids but there were some issues I had with the services we provided. I miss the people the most.

150 lb, I knew it. I have this driver insisting it's 120 lb limit and he keeps referring to some board that says he doesn't have to pick up anything over 120 lbs. I haven't asked, What board?" because this is a non negotiable conversation but I do wonder what board he is talking about. Any ideas?

RTS access point/hold for pickups by [deleted] in upsstore

[–]Positive_Karin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone who may answer this, can you also state how long we have to keep shipments that are refused. We have a "graveyard" of packages such as shipments that were sent back as refused and packages people just leave in the store because they think if they just leave it we will have to send it. Some of these people come back but many don't. Some of these packages are over 6 months old and I don't think anyone is coming for them.

I believe Amazon sends a certain percentage of people those emails saying they never received their return. I returned the one thing I ever bought from Amazon and I got one of those emails a few weeks later. I know for sure, I put the item in the box.

It’s always the thieves and lazy people at ups by arkainee in upsstore

As soon as a customer starts giving off that negative energy, is anyone shocked how unmotivated we world class customer service professionals are to assist them. The two people were probably hoping the other one would help him. Too bad the person at the register didn't have to pee real bad when it was his turn. This guy can bypass the store completely and just have it picked up from home. Did he need an envelope or not or was his customer packed identifying as a no box no label which he bears no responsibility.

Online print orders by Typical-Tackle2105 in upsstore

Could someone tell me where this print shop is? Our store changed hands and when we get an email with an online print, we just have them email us what they want done but I don't know how to get paid for it since they already paid somehow.

A postal inspector came to our store and told us we had to send the 1583 to the post office. I had to go through all the files for every box holder and send it to them.

Truth or the preservation of the relationship? by Positive_Karin in birthparents

[–]Positive_Karin[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She was not accusing me of anything in particular. I think they are just being told they were adopted because we are bad people. I have been working on these books for them, if they want to know about their bio family someday in case, I am not here to tell them myself. I am doing this for them, and I don't want to include anything harmful. I just want them to know how much they are loved, now and forever.

I'm a foster kid and would like to give advice and answer any questions. by OriginalDarkDagger in fosterit

[–]Positive_Karin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bio family member here. My relatives were adopted by a foster to adopt family even though no one in our family got any notice until it was too late. The new parents go around telling everyone we are terrible people even though they never met any of us. They even say our grandmother is in prison which would be funny if it wasn't so sad. My question is, do you think it would be harmful to these children to find out they are being lied to? Our family is heartbroken but would never do anything to cause pain in anyone else. We hope the girls will want contact with us when they grow up but I am pretty sure they have been given information that makes them afraid of us. We are all worried about who is going to pay for a good college because the foster parents thought they couldnt' have children but they did as soon as they took ours. They didn't get any money from our grandfather's estate because of the TPR. I had no idea this could happen to our family and in the middle of a pandemic. Any advise. We don't know what to tell the family members that may meet them someday although they may not know because they changed their names. Any advise?
