we're sorry to hear it. i never complained about her, but i did tell nils on you. kind of like a flat tire on a bike. u yell down the trail 'flat tire - need a fix' - or 'do u have a cell phone' and noboday hears - so then u try 'fire, fire.'
what i find interesting is that none of us thinks we have issues until they come up. then - we're surprised at how many other people have similar issues. it's good to get help. to talk to other people. to not be alone.
take the emergency room, for example. u think ur really hurting, and someone is always worse. for a minute - u let go of ur own pain and look over at the person with a knife in their eye. (or, as with last year - the man with the chainsaw in his leg). i can't tell u how many times i've been int he emergency room with my kids.
this year - it is issues of school, etc. with my son. but, he's coming out of them and hopefully will survive the teen years. sometimes things look dreadfully hopeless to him - but i try to explain (as someone did to me) 'it's only a moment in time.' our brains cannot handle excessive information or suggestions sometimes. and, the smallest words of kindness or nice action from someone can mean a lot. proud of u stevie for helping.
