Thanks madisgram,

My sister and I are many miles away, fortunately. She's somewhere in Tx, and I'm up in Mn. We've sent a few notes back and forth via FB, including our phone numbers. My sis expected me to call her yesterday ~ but I was stuck in my rushing thoughts & emotions.

I'm afraid to call her...I can't really explain why. I'm afraid to get sucked up again! I know that I'm much more fragile than before. I don't have any safety nets below me. I've pushed my family away over the past few years, to finally obtain some sense of self. I am alone ~ other than my boyfriend and 2 daughters (half-time).

I am probably not making much sense. Sorry .
