I know what you mean, Angela. I'd like to be able to be there and help those scared little kids who didn't do anything wrong, and were stuck at home with a dad who sounds so frustrated and not able to cope either.

Maybe the weather will improve enough for you to go to your therapy this week. If it doesn't, see what she can work out with you. I know it's not the same, but remember we're here if you need us too. I'd be here on Saturday to talk to you if I could, but I do have tonight, Friday night, and Sunday afternoon (unless I get switched and get the morning off instead, but it doesn't seem likely - who knows!)

That trapped feeling is so frustrating, and even worse when it feels like those memories of when you were little and had fewer options than you do now.
