Hey SD, I'm glad H is taking those baby steps. Good deal!

I'm sorry that you had to deal with Mamma A$$hole. The sad thing is, you and MA are the two of the biggest role models her poor kid has right now - and instead of working as partners to help the kid grow up terrific, you get this kinda crap. Maybe, deep down, MA recognizes a shining star when she sees one, and feels threatened by the positive energy streaming out of you. I'll bet her relationship with her kid is based on a much more negative dynamic.

Remember that for every loudmouth skank mamma that crawls up out of the suburbian slime, there are a dozen other families that recognize and appreciate you, but don't think to take the time and let you know. D@mn, you make me want to go back and hug every fantastic teacher D15 has had along the way. Guess I'll settle for this for today: (((((((((SD)))))))) \:\)
