Carolyn,

Thank you for saying such nice things. It is actually good to know that I have a

place in people's hearts in this group. I sometimes feel so insignificant. I

guess I miss the adolations of my students and their parents. I felt like I was

really making a contribution when I taught. I am working very hard on my sense

of humor and dealing more positively with things. Life got much harder here 1

1/2 years ago when my mother decided to take us up on our long-standing offer of

you-can-live-with-us. My step-dad died a bit over 2 years ago. My mother did not

need to move in with us, but did it so she could (virtually) give her house to

my younger sister who has too many children and not enough money. We all have

the best intentions, but it is very difficult on my husband, children, and me.

My mother has the best heart in the world, but she takes on everyone's problems

(and thinks she's the last line of defense between them and under desolation)

and then tries to suck me into it by saying

things like, " We have to figure out a way to help your

sister/brother/neice/nephew overcome this huge problem that she refuses to

acknowledge and address in her own life. " To top it off she has a certain amount

of dementia. It is not the way I had hoped to have my relationship with my

mother turn out.

I did exactly the same thing you did, but didn't have the patience you

exhibited. So thank you even more. I'll call Barbara in SLC and make sure she

gets it. You have saved my goodwill with Barbara. It is good to hear from you

and about you again. Take care, Cheryl ID

" Messages " . Then in the message section there's a box for searching within the

messages.) It popped up a zillion and I just kept looking farther and farther

back until I found it.
