Part of the problem is that we're all kind of unsure about how to treat her.

Yeah. I think it would be wise to listen to or seek out the advice of the person who was/is treating her, and get recommendations for what would be best for her in the long run. At least that way you can feel like you're doing something.

Cutesy?

Yes, guidance would be good. One of her therapists is, I think, twisted around Helen's little finger (she seems to think my very hands-off mother is a sterotype Smother Mother), but the other one could be helpful.

Thanks again to everyone for the caring messages. I felt sort of hesitant about posting about this, but I'm really appreciating the support. Ok, I'll stop before I get mushy.

Tru Calling fans -- looks like Fox is not airing the 6th episode on April 28th. They're replacing it with two episodes of The Simple Life.

Ouise, a close friend of mine recently, six months ago or so, went through something very similar. She might have some wisdom to impart. I'd be happy to put you in touch if you think it might be helpful. Email me at my profile if you want.

I'm sitting at my desk, slounging in my office chair. Coworker comes in, looms behind me, and says, "You look so comfortable, and I'm just going to come in here and ruin your day."

They can't just give up! One day your throne will be available.

Someone at work who's not my manager tried to get me to do something that's not only not my job, it's theirs, and overdue by about a year.

I think the best part of how many of us there are is that there are people with Actual Information in practically any situation. That always helps. And then there are others of us who kind of helplessly send out good thoughts, but that can't hurt either.

Cutesy?

Like, I've seen ones that look like records. Just not generic blank CDs, because I don't have access to a good printer. Cutesy!

Eery! Tartlet! C0CKSICKLE!

Kprinkle!
