Okay? :-Þ So obliging, is my Paul....LOL On a more serious note I'd like to make the following two points to the universe in general. 1) I doubt there are many kids out there who actually *choose* to be "difficult". True enough. Or even, people who do. 2) Kids don't have the monopoly on this unconditional love business. Works for adults too. Yup. But it can be harder when you're not responsible for them, the way you are for kids. Cele |

I know it must be hard for you to time and time again to type that story. It must be like reliving it. But you do it, to help others. I commend you. Thanks, Tiffany. I think in the beginning it was actually therapeutic. Now, it's rather more.....I dunno. You just do it 'cause it might help. It's not especially heroic; it's more that you really don't want anyone to feel totally alone with what they're going through, 'cause that does indeed suck.....and maybe giving someone else a hand makes some of the going through it that lets you understand a bit a little more ...acceptable. Turns **** into a learning experience with consequences, if you see what I mean. But you may not, 'cause I'm babbling. LOL I commend all the women who have survived dramatic situations, you continue to do the best jobs raising kids that may not been so blessed with another mother. I see mother's doing great things here. If I were so inclined, I would write a book. It is awesome to hear about single mothers doing great things. I also commend the wonderful single fathers in the group who also have dealt with much drama. It keeps me grounded to know there are these great single fathers like Paul, Paul and Dennis. (There are more here, I just don't recall names.) I agree. There are times when human beings just leave me staggered. We can be both so excruciatingly cruel and so desperately wonderful that I am often in awe. :-) OK...... I am going to stop drinking now. Heh. Now and then it won't kill you. ;-) Cele |

It's just that we can't get one for another three months and that seems to be causing a bit of trouble in the hug deficit department.....) Cele |
