ur advice to DTFLEX was excellent! A great deal of what I read here is many people are struggling with the F.(fear), O. (obligation) G. (guilt) which either their parent or someone programed with as a child or is using on them as an adult. I've come to feel that one of my purposes on this site is to be a F.O.G. buster.

Dear Ed, I too am a former special ed teacher,with several masters degrees! With connections to latinos and latin americans! Thanks for your common sense,logical answer. This man has worn out his family and is not welcome anywhere.We are close to severing all ties with him as we ain't got much more left to give! The man is toxic CJH.

Thank you so much for your comment to me. Words can not express the lift you gave me!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a straight shooter most times and I always worry I will offend everyone. Thank you for making me day!

Ed: I appreciate your posts...you have a natural ability to size up a situation and offer the best advice. You seem to have a natural combination of objectivity and compassion. Perhaps your background in psychology helps too!
