I can’t ever express enough how much CC helps keep me sane…it’s just nice to know I’m not the only one going through this.

As an update…I sent daughter an email this morning saying this:

“I am sorry that you were so upset yesterday and equally as sorry I was unable to provide the support you were looking for. I hope that you were able to find that support either within yourself or through outside sources. I also want you to know that even in times where we may have a different perspective on things or don’t necessarily see eye to eye, I always love you.”

She responded a few hours later saying I love you too. My roommate and I went to the campus store to buy cookies and hair dye. I’m blonder now!

I spoke to her this evening a little bit. I told her that I guess maybe I wasn’t the correct person to speak to last night and she said yep you weren’t. And then we both had a good chuckle over it.

Good Lord-I some how thought the drama would lessen when she was away…boy do I have a lot to learn. Starting with all of the suggestions above. They are all so very helpful and so much appreciated.
