Gerda, you aren't alone and the anger is something we can all understand. I'm sure other folks, like me, had a hard time deciphering what you were looking for and therefore didn't know how to respond. I've written many a post that didn't solicit a response. I often view it as journaling or just saying something somewhere anonymous (ha ha) so I can get it off my chest and move on.

I remember when you and the kids had some holiday get togethers. What about an end of summer repeat, something fun, festive, and with masked people in shifts? Something to lift your spirits and give you something to look forward to.
