hi quilter ~
yes, i got tired of the neverending battle, too. when i found out i have fetal alcohol effects and that i will always struggle with certain basic things that most people take for granted, i just couldn't cope with that knowledge.
*however*, i feel differently now, and i *really* hope you will, too. it helps me to remember that we who deal with these issues really are brave just to keep going. you are brave, quilter. very brave. if there is anything i can do to support you, please let me know.
it really means a lot to me that you posted your response. i feel like people are avoiding me here and even on Greg's A Safe Haven. i guess that is a reasonable response to the the way i've been behaving, but it does accentuate my sense that i have a pretty odd combination of issues to deal with, and it accentuates my sense that i'm very alone, even within groups of folks that have similar issues. i've had any number of professionals tell me that i'm an "interesting" case. it becomes a bit, um, discouraging after awhile. =;)
oh well. i will try to be better, and i will stick around, in these forums and in life.
