LM,
I agree with everything you said.
All of us want nothing more than the best for everyone else here -- I guess in one way or another, that's how we all end up here...

Seriously, the way I see it, there's the soothing part, and the philosophical,etc,etc. part, and in Caren's case -- right now (or 30 minutes ago) the logistical/heat-of-the-moment part... and in the heat of the moment, the I-told-you-so stuff just doesn't help. Just adds to her stress...understandably so.

JMHO... and for the record, LM, I do respect your take on all this crappola very much!

caren, I am sorry if you are offended by my post or if it was not "helpful" to you in this moment, you know that it was not meant with any malice.

TQT, thank you for your thoughts on all of this. It really really sucks that this $hit is even a reality to us. I am very far into my recovery and I still feel the pain of this stuff when I read others struggles. I just shake my head at the madness, I really do.
