LIO~I have always been pretty patient, but this has me pretty well tested. Trust me I do have my moments of intense anger, hurt, frustration, etc, you know the sobbing, praying mess on the floor moments (never around H though). I can tell you God is the only thing getting me through this. I don't know what you believe or what other people for that matter believe, and I'm obviously not trying to offend anyone, but I firmly believe there is a God, He has a plan, and He will get me through this, no matter the outcome. There is too much evidence in my life to support this for me to think other wise. grin Have faith, and never give up hope.

I have been extremely blessed by the people in my life. I have a wonderful, growing network of positive friends and family members in my life, as well as a great pastor, a wonderful counselor, and all of the fantastic, supportive people on here. Yes definitely apply Snodderly's wisdom, she knows what she is talking about.

It is amazing to pull yourself back out of the pain and look at what they are saying and doing and see the toddler/teenager in them. Surely there has to be no better training for dealing with either age/stage then the MLC. LOL As everyone will tell you, take care of you, detach, and find the humor! After all laughter is the best medicine. smile If you have any other questions LIO never hesitate to ask, it's nice to be able to help other people through this journey, I'm lucky to have so many helping me. Also if you need to vent, this is one of the best places to do it. wink And never underestimate the power of the deep cleansing breath!

Tales of the Traveling Toothbrush (how's that for a name AJM?LOL)~Still firmly planted on the far side of the sink. Must be as far away as possible from my toothbrush.... something catastrophic could happen...
