I've been away for the past week but have been paying attention and holding you in my thoughts. It looks as though I've left you in very good hands! Thanks for the blog link- I'll keep track in both places. I know about toxic siblings, although mine have mellowed with the years.
This group of care-givers in this thread feels like a wonderful circle of strong women, gathering strength and pouring it out so that each of us feels stronger! Thanks to all of you!
