Thank you to everyone who's reponded so far.

Ygrec - thanks for sharing and you're lucky to have a great therapist, especially since you struggle with connecting. Happy Birthday to you missbelle - it really does make birthdays special by having them recognized her at PC. Detia - I loved reading your tribute to your mom and I hope my girls will think of me this way. You said some very important things for us parents to consider - thank you for sharing. Sabrina - I hope your hubby will be back soon and so happy your mom is helping you.
