Thanks for getting back in touch.  I was a little concerned, and didn't know whether to keep sending messages or not.  You are obviously in pain, which is understandable.  Your life is wrenching apart by Julie's plans to move out.  To me, it seems like such a big and dramatic step, actually moving out, and taking Ann, as opposed to just packing a few bags and staying somewhere for a while.  It does sound like you are able to keep up your work.  I don't mean to be sexist, but men are often able to do that, for some reason, more than women.  Although lately I've thought that this is because often men have more meaningful jobs to which they are committed.  When I had pits jobs and relationship problems, it made me hate going to work even more.  Well, it may sound a little trite, but if you want to try talking or e-mailing, to sort through things, I'm here. Probably journaling, if you still do that, or even if you've stopped, would be helpful. I wish what is best for you.

P.S. Alabama votes today.  There is a slim chance we may get rid of the ignorant clod who is the current gov.  Ironically its going to rest with black voters, because they usually vote democratic.  Most of the Christian fundamentalists supporting the current gov are white.  I'll vote when I get off work.  Another
 
P.S.  My car cut out yesterday in major traffic for some reason, but I had no real problem and it started right up.  However, it made feelings of vulnerability surface, something I've had to deal with more since my mother died.  Its strange being without either parent.
