[QUOTE="nvts, post: 279232, member: 3814"] Hi! I'm so glad that you responded! Let me tell you something...when I started on the board, your posts were always fun and always insightful. Even when I felt that there was nothing that I could do, you always helped me "find the funny" almost every time. When there wasn't any funny, you always said the right thing. You're truly gifted on ways to interact with people in a compassionate and accepting way. If life is handing you lemons, squeeze them into juice and throw it in the eyes of those who are offending - heck, it won't fix the situation, but you'll get a smidge of satisfaction. I too am one of those who is totally jealous of the bypass decision. It's not that I'm scared - I just fall back in the dark for now. I am also going to live through you vicariously! As far as Tink - it'll work out - you're a great mom who's done so much for so many that she'll be fine! You don't spoil, you just do what you do because you love her and unfortunately (as most of our difficult child's tend to do) they find a way to make you feel like a "dumb-a**" for going to the effort. My equivalent to Tink (difficult child 3) has taken to lying about EVERYTHING! To be a witch (which I enjoy by the way), I now question everything she says! "Mom! It's sunny outside!" I get up without a word and start looking out the window. "Mom! I already told you it's sunny outside!" "Well, I had to look for myself because you taught me not to believe you." Moooohahaha! That'll show you! Let me know if there's anything I can do! You can ship Tink here for a little while if you need a break - although I worry that difficult child 3 will teach her even MORE obnoxious habits - she's got a million of them! Missed you for a looooong while! Beth [/QUOTE]
