[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 385865, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkslateblue]Jen, we live in a very small town, but when difficult child was and did the worst, there were people who understood and went out of their way to reach out and at least smile or say hello if they couldn't find the words to support a young girl, her family and their troubles. Ugh, I grew up on Long Island and I know it's not everywhere you meet, but I hate it there. I'd never move back - you couldn't pay me.
