DR Elmore, sending you a big hug. i wish i could knock some sense, & compassion into your difficult brother. when my sister had me in tears or screaming my brother calmed me down by reminding me, it could be worse-we could be her.
remember you are loved by many, many people who know & value the person you are.
Thank you, Nursie! I'm grateful to know such wonderful folk on this site and I appreciate all of your kindness. Some days - in this case the past week - the frustration piles up and I would rather have fun on this site than piss and moan all the time.
I much prefer a good laugh to self-pity, and when I don't feel social, i know I can always count on a good laugh from some DR. Bless you all!
