His therapist once said to me, "It was like you were trying to fill the Grand Canyon." How true. <BR/><BR/>I just can't believe Missy honestly blames me! I guess I gave her waaaay too much credit. Does she not have a mirror in her house?<BR/><BR/>Thank you for all the support!lisa {milkshake}https://www.blogger.com/profile/14989232157165922938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323030.post-14519201810125391142007-10-18T09:17:00.000-04:002007-10-18T09:17:00.000-04:00lisa, I am so sorry about the call...

Feel good that you did the best you could with Artie. I am so proud of what you did for him and you should be too. I really hope he is with people who will treat him with respect and teach him more about the things you and Jimmy were trying show him. love, julie (and colin!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323030.post-33249391079440274302007-10-17T22:05:00.000-04:002007-10-17T22:05:00.000-04:00Wow.

I only know you from reading your blog, but - gosh - if you had even the tiniest part in parenting Artie, he is so much better off. I know that he carries a part of you and your husband in his heart, and he always will. I know that he is a better person because of it. No matter what this woman does to try to F*** it up. Hang in there, and know that you gave him loads of love and stability.Iguana Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10784788414256458757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323030.post-14924075776243651392007-10-16T10:39:00.000-04:002007-10-16T10:39:00.000-04:00Kudos for keeping your cool - I don't know how you...Kudos for keeping your cool - I don't know how you do it. That woman has been pushing your buttons for years, and somehow you've stayed above all that. Let Missy live in her fantasy world, blaming you. That's probably the only way she can cope with how her children have turned out. You know (as we all do) that you and Jimmy are the only parents Artie EVER had - the only ones who've truly cared about him. Hold on to that, and try not to worry too much. We all know he's a tough kid :) (k)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323030.post-56763743067827510662007-10-16T10:13:00.000-04:002007-10-16T10:13:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness.
