Ha! If you only knew!" But then, after thinking about it, I have to acknowledge that if I didn't have it at least a little bit together, I wouldn't be able to recognize the need for, much less draw, any lines. So thanks. It IS a tough balance, one that most of the time feels about as stable as a high-wire act and conflicting as tug-o-war. Writing about it here helps me sort it out as I go. Suzanne Maggie,

I think it's really something special that you are glad to help but also draw the line when it needs to be drawn. That's a very tough balance that I think I would struggle to get right. No matter what direction things go from here, I'm sure you have had a positive impact on Adopted Son's life. That's really pretty cool. You really do have it so together, Suzanne.
