I know this is a dissociative forum, but I am most comfortable here. I wanted everyone who supports me to know that I am not ignoring all of you, it's just that lots of things are happening that are preventing me from functioning as I would like.

Bad things have been happening to my brother in Iraq and he's been calling me for support, which I gladly give. I can't get into details. It is all consuming - and then we are dealing with lots of issues of abandonment right now. So so so much to deal with, along with job, house, kids, flower garden. I don't wish any of those things away, but I want to do my best for each and feel like I'm failing. That doesn't help either.

It's just all so much.

Please pray for my brother. Iraq is not as "successful" as the news likes to spread.

Hugs, SBD
