Oh thank god you answered .. I guess we know each other, in a way. I live in a big metro. I packed enough for an overnight out by my children, and the stepfather, the ex who beat me around. My daughter called, said she had put in a load of laundry at his house, and was coming over here to put in another load. She said she'd be back w/ some white spaghetti (garlic, butter, white cheese) in a little bit. In the meantime, I called Brad's (my ex-husband) home and cell to ask if she could bring back a night light bulb and some two-sided white sticky tape. No one bothered call me back or stop. I'M SAD. I try so immensely hard to keep on movin' own; then no replies, respect, caring; so insignificant as not to deserve return phone call?! I give & give, try & try, even hand my last dollar to children; yet they cannot see me, the grief, the tiring of falling to sleep alone & awakening the same. I'm sorry ... I'm angry. Thank you for what you said. I am one of few that live in Mountain time, so CA is just two hours behind me. Anybody out there could still be awake. I tried babble you, but you are not set up? What is wrong w/ families today? I know, from what you said, the grass isn't always greener on the other side; you're not alone either Jai...I'll help you through. Your response warmed my soul. I was literally bawling beneath tons of covers, but now a little warmer, a little more proud of us and, forgive me, but ashamed of others. cf
