Unlike Crusoe, Selkirk was deliberately marooned on the island as a punishment for his ‘insolent’ behavior. Selkirk plea

Our son (9yo) confided in us recently that the only reason he came to live with us is that he wanted to get away from his previous foster parent. I don’t blame him, she was abusive, and I’m happy we can give him a safe place to live. However, he has confessed that he doesn’t think of us as his parents or his family. He’s been with us for a year.

However, imagine if these powers had pushed through? Humanity then would’ve closed its doors to further explorations of the vastness of the universe. I don’t think Neil Armstrong could have landed safely if any of these plans had gone ahead. Additionally, the children he mesmerized by his landing would’ve never been inspired to become the physicists and scientists they are today.

But not many know that Daniel Defoe’s classic was loosely based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor and Royal Navy officer who was marooned alone on one of the islands of Juan Fernández for four years and four months from 1704 to 1709.

e kool-aid of a multi-cloud future, it’s better to know at least one of the two aforementioned Infrastructure-as-Code tools. IaC comes with its own benefits like the ease of implementing immutable infrastructure, increased speed of deployment and so on.

He goes to therapy, but it’s made no difference. We begin intensive in-home therapy as well as medication this week. We desperately hope they work, but I’m worried they won’t. He doesn’t like us very much unless we are giving him exactly what he wants when he wants it.

We can handle a nine-year old’s punches, kicks, and bites now, but pretty soon, he will be a teenager and be much stronger. There will be a day when he will be able to overcome us physically, and we have no idea what to do when that happens.

I’ve tried to take the pressure off him. I try to give him as much baby-free time as possible. He doesn’t like changing diapers, so I do them all now. He doesn’t like bath time, so I’ve taken it on, etc., but there’s only so much I can take on board myself.

It’s become clear now that he was just saying those things to get away from his previous placement. Again, I don’t blame him. His old foster mom would physically abuse him.

Recently archaeologists have even identified the island based on the remains of a campsite that is said to belong to Alexander Selkirk. The island is now called Robinson Crusoe’s Island and is a minor tourist attraction for people wanting to go off the beaten track.

We try to do everything we can to make him feel happy and loved. We bought him drums so that he can follow his passion for that. We shower him with gifts and spend a lot of time playing with him and trying to engage.

I’ve noticed him getting crankier these past weeks, his temper getting shorter, and the other day, he told our son to ‘just shut up’ when he was crying. Today we sat down, and I asked him to be honest with me. He said he doesn’t like being a father, it’s too hard, and he doesn’t enjoy it. I couldn’t get anything more out of him; he shut the conversation down after that.

The real problem is that he doesn’t see us as parents, and because of that, he has very little respect for us. If any. When we try to have serious talks with him or administer discipline for poor behavior, he shuts down, or worse. He gets violent. He has completely destroyed the walls in his room. You can see it in the other room now. He physically attacks us, threatens to kill us/stab us. This past week, he tried to choke me because I asked him to stop using his drum stick to put more holes in the wall.

We can handle a nine-year old’s punches, kicks, and bites now, but pretty soon, he will be a teenager and be much stronger. There will be a day when he will be able to overcome us physically, and we have no idea what to do when that happens.

I suppose most of us would have grown up reading the classic castaway tale of Robinson Crusoe, written by Daniel Defoe in 1719. The tale of the shipwrecked Crusoe marooned on an island, facing natives, cannibals, pirates, and successfully surviving all the hardships has enthralled readers of all age groups for centuries.

He is officially adopted now and is legally our son. So, there’s no going back. He can’t be placed with another family now. We had many conversations with him when he was in a foster placement with us to make sure he wanted to be part of our family. He always said that he did want to be with us. On the day we signed the adoption paperwork, we even had him talk with the social worker privately one last time to ask him if he really wants to be part of our family? He said yes.
