This is the other half, NOT Nocturne. I feel very strongly that I have to reply to the accusation that I left our beautiful 4 year old daughter running "free rein" around the house while I slept mid afternoon. In the first place, the doors were locked and the upstairs gaited (by me, not Noc who forgets) and our home is very child proofed (by me, not Noc) and I had the FLU. I was shaking and unable to get my sister or my friend to come over, Nocs folks "are too old" according to them to watch their granddaughter, and so to stop the shakes I was laying AWAKE on my waterbed while our daughter played on the table and watched tv and came in to see me every five minutes or so. Noc, you can either tell the parts of the stories you've left out or you will not get the help that you need. The fact that you wrote this in this way and have never felt the need to be sorry for any of the things you have done or leaving our beautiful daughter in a house where I can't afford to turn the heat up more to warm up is evidence of that. I wish that things were so much different and that your actions were the same as all these wonderful stories. But they are stories and the actions don't support them.
