| 2009-11-17 | Angela | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for such a quick reply as parenting is so 'here and now'. It has cheered me up no end by giving me a clear direction to go along which I really hope diffuses the negative spiral we have been heading in. Thank you. |

| 2009-10-10 | Joe | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much for your concrete advice. I have described my concerns to my wife. Her first reaction was that her daughter would not steal from me. but she does agree that it is odd, to say the least, that some of my things are missing. She has told me where she last noticed some of them, so we looked together, but they were nowhere to be found. Next step: One more thorough look around, just to confirm that I did not simply misplace anything. |

| 2009-09-27 | Sheryl | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you James, for responding and for clarifying for me what I think I already knew in my heart. It is difficult to accept, but I do know that, as long as I have done my utmost, it is clearly up to her to make the change. I need to allow myself to be happy with the life I do have, with those who already love me and appreciate me. Maybe someday she will want to be part of that too. It's not new to me to hear what you've said, and yes, it's hard to accept, but it is what everyone around me has already said. Your expertise and background only help validate this counsel. Thank you again. My Best Regards, Sheryl |
