wisewoman, i'm so sorry that all of this has happened to you. there are some children that are going to act out and be irresponsible regardless of how you feel about it.

i know that you are hurting and i wish that i could take some of your pain. it's a horrible feeling when a child does something that is so hurtful to a parent. i've been there.

if i could, i'd be on my way with the sour cream cookies and tea and we would sit under a tree and just talk the troubles away. love, pat
