I get ya. It's hard being far from family. This is my second go-around on the DB ride. The first time I confided too much with FIL. Caused all kinds of problems between W and myself and W and FIL. This time I've learned to be very careful in what I share with anyone.
I wish I could do that with my phone. Unfortunately, I have to use it for work so I have to check any text right away, at least when I'm on-call.
