Just a few minor things:

1. Veronica had a caseworker or she would have never been part of the Fresh Air Fund.

2. I am a Social Worker.

3. I have spent the last 10 years teaching parenting skills and working with a program in my state designed to keep kids at home (least restrictive environment possible). This involved working not only with the parents, but the courts and schools. Don't talk to me about parenting skills. I have a pretty good idea about that.

4. Discuss all the grief coping skills you want...I'll take any of it at this point. I know I'm a mess. I also know that I would never jeopardize Veronica.

5. If you feel the urge to beat on folks when they are really down, how about you bend over and take a splintery baseball bat and park it where the sun doesn't shine, mmmmmmkay? Great.

Tschuss.
