Hmmm. I think my salt habit is doing me in. Going to hit the water hard today. Have a luncheon meeting, but I know what to order that's safe.

Everything's harder when you're worn down mentally. We just got the son in Seattle squared away and doing well (thank God!) and now our oldest son and his wife are crosswise and on a slippery slope toward possible divorce. Four precious children to worry about. Somehow we've been dragged into the middle of it, but we don't really see a way we can help. We suggested counseling at least a year ago, but nobody was willing.

So, those of you with spouses, be KIND to each other. Take a moment to look deep into each other's eyes, and hold hands whenever you can.

Oh wow. Glad one son is doing better. So sorry that the other one is having problems. I hope they can work things out. Hang in there,Hon. I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best.

It is like that in our family too. First my husband's sister and spouse were heading towards a divorce, then they worked it out, all better. Then my brother had problems, now he's great, getting married, starting a career. Now my husband's other sister is going through a divorce. It never ends. I totally understand. How great that they know you are there for them and do as much as you can.

I think the best thing to do is be supportive without taking sides. My MIL is always taking sides..of her sons..so it causes more friction. There is nothing you can really do except wait for them to figure things out. Good luck.

How wonderful that they still need your advice, shoulder to cry on, support. Sometimes it's too much so take care of yourself.
