Totally understand about the psyche piece. No worries. I'm slowly catching up. I just feel your pain - been there, done that -- except with OW involved. Would never go back.
Stronger suggested a screen name with the word "dish" in it -- reference to Gable and Garbo and an attractive woman being a "dish".
I understand about your D, my oldest was similar. But she'll be starting her second year at UWM and she loves it. She's going to teach the deaf PreK-Grade 3 -- yeah, we're all about the special ed.
And I went in to set up my room -- new school, classroom moved, check class list, look at cums (cumulative record folders). So I've got a little girl on the Austism spectrum (severe) -- and epilepsy -- tonic-clonic seizures -- and there is no telephone in my room. Cell phone gets no reception. So I mention to the principal that maybe since I have a seizing three year old, I might need a phone. And she says: "Send someone to the office, we'll call 911." Like when a child is seizing time is NOT of the essence. And who the he!! am I sending to the office. Jimmy with Down's Syndrome, or Felicia who is shaken baby syndrome and in a wheelchair - cognitively 3 months old -- will never improve, in Foster Care cause both parents are in prison for turning her into a human vegetable.
Sorry to hijack and rant about work - but WTH!!! I lost a student last year and I can't take losing another one this year. Especially because of ignorant administrators who haven't even stepped foot in front of a class for 15 - 30 years.
Okay -- done.
If the blind date doesn't work out -- WE need to go out!!!
