Thanks for that info, MKAC. Hopefully, anyone who can resonate with that situation will seek help, and do the right thing for their kid(s). It's frustrating to know that all we can offer is support and constructive suggestions, when I've no doubt some of us, including me, wish we could charge in and rescue the victims of these ugly situations.
Make sure you are taking care of yourself, MKAC. Be gentle with yourself and maybe take a break for a day, refocus your energy on caring for you.
