Thank you so much for your help--I really do appreciate it. I will stay on this thread for now since I feel this is where I belong. I have had some wonderful advice on the other forums, but when I read the 6 stages of MLC, my heart skipped a beat. I can see him in the descriptions and realize I have made a few really bad mistakes. I hope they're not irreversible--the last thing I want to do is prolong his journey.
I'll be patient and look forward to participating on other threads. Thanks again for helping me.
