Thanks for your replies and words of support. One thing I neglected to tell you all - this guy's Aunt, who also hung herself like 5 yrs ago, was the Mother of, at the time, a good friend of my dtr's - the 2 girls even went down to Florida, where she had moved, to stay w/ this Mom when Andrea was @ 18. Andrea considered her , "my second Mother", as they had good times together. Unfortunately, those good times consisted mainly of drinking and getting high - not exactly setting a good example there - but I guess she considered her the FUN Mom .

Di, it would be great we can collaborate and have you send me stuff for this little girl - she's going to be 3 already! I will PM you as soon as I have a chance! You're an angel for offering!

Break's over- more later!

Hugs, Jacquie
