I'm wondering if those of us who have trouble finding someone to help us don't have something in common. All our friends are used to us being Givers, not receivers. When it comes our turn to need help, it doesn't compute with them because they are used to Getting from us. I've even found difficulty finding someone to just take me to the 7/11 a quarter of a mile from my house since Jerry's been gone. It's so hard for me to understand and/or accept! What's the big deal?? Not giving or helping in any way I can would be so foreign to me. Makes me wonder if those that we seek help from have the same difficulty with us when the pendulum swings the other way and We need something. I don't know. It's just a theory.

Dave, maybe it's time you totally gave up on these people and quit buttin' your head against that brick wall. How about the acquaintances you have at your support group? Could any of them help you even if it's just a bit? If it's physical help you need, is there some church affelliated group that could lend you that support without charging you too much? There is a group here called "Victory Outreach" that won't quote you a price. They'll take what you can afford or what you offer and the money doesn't go to the workers. It goes to the organization. Maybe if you do some searching you can find a group like that and SCREW them people from work!

Just know that you are precious to me and many others on this board. If there was anything other than just typing to you that I could do for you, I sure would with no second thoughts!
