Thanks to both of you.
ConnectingDots, I think you are probably right. I just visualize her up there mumbling and speaking too softly and swinging her body around, being understood by no one on a too-long presentation after putting in a month on this thing and it makes me really sad.
I guess as a mom I feel I should be stopping the madness (while simultaneously encouraging it to go on) and that I'm not doing my job.
You kind of talked me down, though. I think I'm probably also just sick of living with it and I want to get it over with, which isn't really the right way to be.
Thanks for the online psychotherapy :-)
