Thanks, McKell, for your thoughtful post. I'm honored your 10 year old posted in this thread.

Well, last night, after all hope had passed that T would call, I sent him an email. I can't wait for him. I told him the latest, and what actions I planned to take, unless I heard from him. And I thanked him for his help. Maybe it was a bit dismissive, I don't know. I only know my life goes on when I am not in his office, and I have real life decisions to make and carry out. He seems to want to have input into those but then doesn't give me what he says he will. I just wish he would not tell me he would call and then not do it. He came up with the idea of calling me, I didn't ask him. Then I feel like I am waiting around, depending on him, and he doesn't follow through. This has happened before. This whole cycle just adds to my stress and I have enough problems right now without feeling let down by T. So my "take charge" self is taking over and if he gets walked on a bit, so be it. I can't follow his advice if he can't be bothered to give it.
