Janie, I think your post is appropriate. This thread seems to me to be about caring, and while most of us post about caring for ourselves or people close to us, I'm glad there are people like you who care enough to be upset when people you are not close to need care you cannot provide despite all your efforts. That must be incredibly frustrating.

Spaw, stick around! I'll be happy to read your posts when you can manage them, but if they don't "take," come back some other day. Don't keep trying and letting frustration build. (At least, that's how it works for me!)
