You could also write letters, Granite. I wrote myself a letter while sitting and waiting for court to start the other day. The female judge had an absolute meltdown at the attorney in the case before mine. Shouting to the point where one of the sheriff's deputies came over and was standing there. And the judge was twisting things around to blame the attorney and attack the attorney. I was soaked in sweat and my heart was pounding. I sat down and wrote a letter to myself about how that was nothing to do with me, I was safe, no one was going to hurt me, I had done nothing wrong, etc, etc. It was a little helpful, actually.

Better yet, can you run out and get some crafts stuff? Make you mother a card about how horrible she is! There is lots of Halloween stuff you could use right now!
