TAL, sorry Disney wasn't better than it was, but glad the kids enjoyed themselves. Good job not getting sucked in to his drama/moods. Very hard to do, takes a strong person.

Let the holidays melt away and see if things don't improve on their own, they just might.

Keep us informed about your dad. My step dad had a heart attack a couple months ago, and my mom was the same way. She didn't want to lean on me but when I was there, she was happy about it.
