Group Goals
Group goal are, believe it or not, harder to come up with. Each meeting to come up with group goals seems to end up in arguments and people stomping off saying "Forget this!" or "Count me out." Each person wants their own goals met such as "I want more time out on my own" and "I want you guys to leave me alone." The challenge is to look for the common desires and needs among all of those goals, and figure out a way to compromise.
:( Aghh... everyone is just so different. Everyone believes in different things. Sees things from such varying perspectives. Really, how ARE we all in the same body? (And how did it get this way, anyway?)
Here are a few things that we can basically agree on. (Ugh, and as I type that, Missy says, "Want to bet?") OK, so you can't make all the people happy all the time.
Moving on.
1. We want to have more fun. (this may mean more playtime, more time to read, more time at the park, more time doing crafts, more time playing in the creek, more time studying--depends on who's talking)
2. Take turns talking to our therapist
3. More even distribution of feelings and memories
4. Share time better
5. More calmness-- less arguing
These are things that we can all agree on.
So, there's a start.
Not sure where to go next, but at least this is something.

Hey there Sweet Gal,
catching up on some reading to see where you are now. your group goals and list of issues seem right on. Finding a way to cooperate inside may take a while, but seems a healthy goal.
You can do it!
Love, Judy
