Thanks for speaking up, Mrs. Mama, and for being so honest. I'm floored by your response, and bearing your burdens as much as I can. Please take care of yourself, and like Duke said, let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Folks around her obviously care, and any group of this size has considerable expertise in all manner of fields, from social services to basement drainage to insurance. And probably even marriage counseling (anyone who can keep a collection of 10+ kettles obviously knows his or her way around some serious interpersonal communication). ;-)
