Nikki-- I have been so self-absorbed as of late, that I haven't been over to "visit" you here! I just read all of your posts here to catch up (yep, it took a while ;0) )
First, I am SO glad to hear the good news about your Dad. It must have been so scary, but he pulled through with flying colors, in no small way because of knowing he had you there for him--it actually helps people recover so much more quickly.
Now, I need to send you over-due hugs {{{Nikki}}} When you are where I am, you can't imagine anything harder. And now I see that the road ahead may not be paved with gold...but its good to know before getting there. (I still hope to be over here some day.)
I am so glad that OT, ST and others have been here for you, giving such sound advice. I really don't know what OT does for a living, but she could write this stuff up and make a fortune! Or be an on-air sensation. Ever wonder if Michele needs another phone coach?
Anyway, I will leave the advice to those who have gone before us, and just offer friendship. I wish this stage was easier for you. I hope that you can build on H's willingness to work on the M and find a way to connect over the issues you are having. You had mentioned MC; maybe an outside "translator" could help?
Please, continue to take care of you. And, I am off for the summer. If you are ever in a sitch where you have to talk with someone RIGHT NOW, no matter what time of day or night, please call me. I'll email you the number (my hotmail acct is down--drop me a note to: c bos worth 01 @ comcast.net--take out the spaces.) I never knew what a panic attack was until this whole mess, and they are scarier than he11. Have you thought about asking a doc about Xanax? ***
On a lighter note, hope that puppy and the fishies are well. I have kept goldfish for about 11 years; email me with any Qs (but it sounds like you read all that is needed).
{{{Nikki}}} Thank you for being there for me; I hope that I can return the favor some day.
