Thanks everyone. I must, must, must help my daughter learn the tools necessary to deal with these things to her best interest. She must (in this case) put herself first. Last night we had a discussion about this very thing and she said, "but Mom that would be selfish". NO, NO, NO....it is NOT selfish to take care of yourself.

I received terrible news this morning from a dear, dear friend whose gifted grandson took is own life last night. I am heartbroken. I am concerned beyond measure for all the tall poppies. I am at a loss.
