Hi Jethro,

I am sorry I haven't been around for a few days. Took me a while to catch up here!

Quoting jethro:
she's already told me I've taken this real well and have been a "saint"

Wow! Remind yourself of the things she has said like this. She may not validate your struggles as often as you like, but when she does, she really does!

Quoting jethro:
I think my 4.5 year old D is sensing something from me. ... Is this an intuitive little girl or what?!?!

God bless her! You know I have had similar experiences with my 6 y.o. son - he continues to astound me!

I am glad you are getting so much wonderful support here. Take good care, my friend!
