[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 163715, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred]Thanks Star, what a good auntie you are. When she calls me later today (to tell me how things went last night - she had called me crying from the car while he was in the store), I will bring up the counseling comment she made and tell her I think it might be the way to go - if not for them, then at least for her, to help her find some balance in her life.
