What a weekend...

So, how the heck do the kids EVER make sense of it...

And how does anyone, including the WAS, make sens of this? We LBS can't. Presumably, the WAS will one day recognize the mistake. What then, are they to make of it?

I feel for you and your kids, and all of us, Alex. It's just not fair. But, no one ever said it would be.

GIMA,

Thanks; I'm fine these days. I'm not in the awful pain I was when all of this was all so new.

But as do you, I feel for the kids and the folk out there who are still really hurting now... Because, just as were we, many have been thrust into these head-spinning situations that, well, are just not fair...

We, as the adults, have far more information with which to try to make sense of it. In most cases, the kids have even less to go on. Is it any wonder so many blame themselves or withdraw when the world around them changes overnight? It is they for whom it is even less fair... as they not only don't have all the pieces of the puzzle, but no blame for knocking it off the table and onto the floor... and yet it is likely they who will likely pay the steepest price. Sheesh...
