I feel your pain Kimmie Lee trust me on this. Bad, bad timing. I am sorry and hope that things work out for you. The clock is ticking for me too and I'm pretty resigned to the fact that we will not be seeing each other this Christmas. I have sort of been preparing myself for this as best I can so that at least I will not be shocked when the day comes. It does not make things easier but at least I eliminate the surprise factor. For me, its now a matter of just getting thru the next 7 days. After that, the problems will still be there yet at least the holiday will be out of the way and New Years is no big deal- its just a big drunk is all. Been there, done that, no big deal. After that, I believe that things will become a little easier for people in the same situation as us and we can concentrate on helping ourselves and hopefully somewhere in 2008 our fortunes turn for the better. LOL! It can't get much worse!
