Yeah, I did say it was unpopular to bring it up.
I know this issue has been dropped and it's unpopular to bring it up, but I still don't believe Sarah Palin is the mother of Trigg. The "rushing back to Alaska to give birth" story isn't convincing; flight attendants on the plane say she didn't look pregnant. We still haven't seen any evidence of her having given birth to Trigg. All we've seen is one undated photo of SP looking pregnant. That's evidence? Obviously Bristol Palin isn't Trigg's mother either. My guess is that Trigg is a baby the family agreed to take in and claim as their own while covering up the pregnancy. It's an old story. Who's the mother? Probably a very young girl; hence the cover-up. Who's the father? My guess is: Track Palin.
I think the family originally planned to claim that Bristol was Trigg's mother. Bristol transferred to a high school in Anchorage even though she had a boyfriend in Wasilla, and the principal has said he didn't know why. Bristol foiled the plan by getting pregnant herself, whereupon Sarah had to step up and claim to be 7 months pregnant. No one knew about the pregnancy before then, and people who worked around her say she didn't look pregnant.
Abi, my son had classic night terrors when he was two. My god what
an awful phase. He'd wake up screaming, or perhaps he was still asleep
and screaming, we could never tell. He appeared to be awake but we
couldn't get through to him. Fortunately he outgrew it.
Edward @ 33: "I will never bitch about my own insomnia again."
I feel the same way. Insomnia is way, way more treatable. The
damnable thing about it is that it can pretty quickly lead to suicidal
levels of depression, and one puts off getting treatment, always
thinking "maybe I'll sleep tonight." Some people crash and burn faster
than others. I've been suicidal after just a few weeks of
sleeplessness, and my late husband shot himself after just one week of
sleepless nights. There were other issues, but it was the insomnia that
did him in. What is it about sleep? Sleep disorders of any kind are no
fun.
They shortened it to the symptoms. Even at that, it's pretty
gripping. As someone who's prone to insomnia, I feel a strange bond
knowing we go through many of our days feeling similarly
sleep-deprived. There's nothing more frustrating for me than fighting
to stay awake at my desk all day, then lying awake all night.
The bit about hypnogogic hallucinations was the most fascinating for
me--I've never heard of it. I'm wondering if this is something many
children experience while their brains are still sorting themselves
out. I had a couple of terrifying "visions" during childhood, at times
when I know I was awake. Others have told me about visions they had
during childhood: UJ once said he'd seen a vision of a galleon, and LD
described having seen a cat walk down a moonbeam and lie down on her
bed. My son saw a ghost standing in his doorway when he was three.
Well...maybe that *was* a ghost.
