That wasn't bad, msbelle, that was necessary. You're doing everything right.
This needs repeating, because it's very true.

They have to be able to see the problem, msbelle.
Dear Mr Peabody,
Barking at the possum in the next yard will not make it less dead. The other dogs had all the fun. Live with it.

Oh msbelle, I am joining in the chorus of you're a great mom and mac is lucky to have you. Anybody'd be lucky to have you in their corner.
And in my OY! news, I have a student who skipped class for five weeks and didn't turn in the last 3 assignments. Now he wants an incomplete, and I can't give it to him. Frankly don't want to either. So he keeps sending me long, plaintive emails. Dude, should have put those writing skills to work *during* the semester.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
msbelle, I have worked with a LOT of troubled kids and you ARE a good mom. I know it doesn't always feel like it, especially when a child is hurting, acting out, being hurtful to you. But you are doing the right thing, and the right thing can suck to the utmost.
I have seen some shitty parents. You ARE NOT ONE OF THEM.
Take care of yourself. By doing so, you can care for Mac. I wish you lived closer, so I could actively help out.
Much love to you both.

Our wings are not tired.
What they have said, msbelle. Strength~ma in abundance.
Congrats to the teachers wrapping up their years.
Mr. Peabody, thank you for the smiles. Zoe could tell you tales about the pelicans and cranes that mock her from the dock pilings. It's a tough life, the dog's life.
Missing ita ! and hoping with all my heart that life is taking a turn toward the pain free.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sad! Although, if you heard his last Fresh Air interview, he was pretty much ready to go.

Damn. Sorry to hear about M. Sendak.
Msbelle, all peace and strength to you. I hope Mac comes around.

Indeed.
