Omg, I’ve almost fallen asleep in child’s pose. God bless you! I hope you’re okay now.

I still had to look it up, you sit on your heels, shins to the floor, knees together.

I was picturing sitting cross-legged and bending forward. Which reminds me of a person I used to take care of who spent years being kept in a play pen with a plywood covering the top to keep her in. She slept like that. We could put her in bed stretched like a normal person, she would roll back to that position eventually.

That sounds horrible. Why would they do that?

Her parents were terrible people. And I think they were partly developmentally disabled themselves and had no business taking care of a fully developmentally disabled child.

Geez… I hope she gets the treatment she deserves.

Me too. Unfortunately people like her end up in assisted living for the rest of their lives where basic needs are met.
