{{{{{{{{{{{{Yack}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sometimes, there's nothing we can do except roll with the punches. Do you ever talk to your mom about her feelings and share yours with her? It helps to share each other's burdens whether we can lift them or not.

Therapy can be your mainstay. An objective point of view does wonders and it's just About You and how to deal with all that's happening.

An hour away doesn't seem so far to me. Maybe you can go visit friends or relatives for a weekend. I would do it even for just one evening, it if was me. Anything to get away from all the falling debris. You need a break from all the stuff that is happening around you.

A journal where you can just let it all out would help, not to mention ranting here. It's no problem. We're all here to listen and do what we can. If it's a nutty time you're needing, check out the chat room for whenever Bethy (Tryin2Bme) and I are there. It's always wild! LOL If nothing else, you'll get the heck teased out of ya!

Hang in. "This, too, shall pass."
