Thanks for your kind words, Kim. There is no road map for this situation. The twins are heading off to their first year of college. and my 23-year-old has offered to move in with his dad. This, along with wanting to help in general, is another reason I would like to be on board to help. He will...

I'm worried about all of that, Gooseberry! And the delayed emotions resulting from these inabilities.
