I honestly caug...Oh Peg, this just broke my heart. I honestly caught my breath when I read what he said. I'm so sorry, so very sorry. <br /><br />For some reason, it is always easier for me to believe the bad than the good as well. I understand. <br /><br />But, the truth is, you are doing a wonderful job. You ARE holding it all together as best you can. You have all been dealt this MAJOR blow (your family, the girls and their little family, YOU) and you are all trying to deal with it and come to terms with it. <br /><br />I can't help but wonder if K is struggling some as well with this "new" life you all have. It sure as shootin' doesn't excuse the hurling of nastiness, however. <br /><br />I've tried to put myself in your shoes, and I can't. You can't know how you would deal with a situation until you are actually in it. I know. Believe me, I know. :sigh: <br /><br />I think I'm rambling. I'm sorry. <br /><br />The therapy is NOT a luxury. You are NOT mentally weak. You are a woman who is holding it all together--barely some days, I'm SURE--and doing her damnedest to do the best she can by her nieces and sons. You MUST have an outlet, and since K won't be it, the therapy it is. This does NOT make you mentally weak. It makes you a WOMAN. This is how *WE* deal with grief. Men handle grief differently (again, believe me, I know) and I'm sure K doesn't understand and is confounded because he has no idea how to help you. Again, it doesn't excuse the nasty comments, though. <br /><br />and, I'm rambling once more. <br /><br />Please know I'm rooting for you, holding you and your family and my heart and prayers, praying for strength and peace for you. It's the best I can offer--I sincerely wish I could do more.<br /><br />Hugs.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.com
