I miss my munchkin.
The house did not land on the wicked witch. She lives next door.
I’m not the Scarecrow. I have a brain and it is normal.
I’m not the Tin Man. I have a heart and it is strong.
I’m not the Cowardly Lion. I have the courage (with a little help from my friends) to do what is correct.
Wizards are charlatans…so that must be the medical field in general.
The good witch is not an anti-depressant.
Unlike Doroty, clicking my heels together will not get me my heart's desire.
The white knight tweaked my decision, but didn’t rescue me from my own folly (not passing the blame but I really don’t think I could have made the call without the encouragement) – oops sorry, wrong fantasyland.
It’s time to take affirmative action. The anti-depressants may have calmed down my mood swings, but they have left me emptier than the depression. I don’t enjoy being a zombie and the side effects suck! They do nothing to help the situation. Unless, I feel I have everything possible, I will never get over the depression.
This may tick Shawn off even more. I don’t know. I do know that it is right for me.
Today I sent a letter to Shawn. I will give him a week to respond. If I do not here from him by next Wednesday, I plan on calling him and leaving him an update on the family. I will continue to do that on a weekly basis or until I do here from him. Hopefully, by my persistence, I will be able to break through to him. At least I know I will have kept the avenue of communication open.
What I will not do is go over there. I don’t know Angel’s day care schedule and do not want to further exacerbate the situation by her see me and not being able to speak with me.
If, after a reasonable amount of time, I still do not hear from him, I will ask someone else to try and confront him.
Any volunteers?

I am good at being the as long as it is not with my mother.

Seriously...anything you need, just ask.

Don't know how much use I'd be at being confrontational, but you can count on me for backup. Hoping and praying it won't come to that.

I too am striving to be optimistic. (Just don't press me too hard on this and I might make it.)
This seems like the best currently available way to cope with this aggravation. I'm so happy you have come up with it.

Lady R, I'd be most willing and happy to offer any assistance that I may. Ye may not know the name here, but ye shall be seeing me on the morrow in my usual green & black. All ye need do is but ask and I shall do my utmost to be of help.
