connie, et al;
i so understand trying to listen to what the person is saying and feeling *do i laugh or do i cry* i know that my sister would never talk to me when she was doing whatever because i would call her on every little thing - i don't think she ever said anything as absurd as your daughter but there were times when my head must have spun completely around because she would look at me like - well - insane...
how do you - in your own head i mean - stop from freaking out when you haven't had contact with them for awhile? - i just can't imagine after motnhs of no contact with my sister just being able to listen to her and not react - maybe by the time i do hear from her i can - i don't know - just wanted to let you know i'm sorry you have to go trhough this - any of this - but we'll help each other through - ok???
i think i'm going to need alot of help...
love,
