[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 409005, member: 3419"] Family support: Phone calls of concern and humor. Flowers, cards, candy, funny magnets, whatever, that show up spontaneously in the mail. Babysitting, house sitting. Links to news articles on your issues (usually things you've already read, and mindless, but at least showing they care and are trying). Help with-contacts for YMCA, church, mental health svcs, etc. Occasional offer of money for dr appts if necessary and reasonable. Obviously, you're not getting any of this. I'd give it up. Don't just lower your expectations--erase them. Completely. I haven't read all the responses but wanted this response to be spontaneous. I'll go back and read them now. [/QUOTE]
