,

I wanted to tell you how sorry I am you are going through this right

now with three kids! I only have Bre to deal with and I know how

hard one is!! I can relate too when you talked about your husband

understanding the biological roots of ocd, but not being there

emotionaly to help. My husband is the same way. He just wants

to " fix " it and move on. I have to tell him it is Bre's battle to

fight, though my part is, I won't reassure her if I know it's ocd

and I take her to see Lori when needed. For the most part she has to

learn how to fight it. I want so bad to help her and take away all

the anxiety.

If I tell him how I " feel " and just want to vent, he tells me to

be " strong " . I know I have to be strong for her but I need to let it

out sometimes. So I let it out to my girlfriends who have children

with special needs. Also Lori gets an earful at times!

I still hold open the offer to get together for lunch some Saturday

and we could vent to each other. I know how much support helps me!

If you are interested just let me know.

Are you going to be driving to L.A. soon? I will be praying for a

safe trip! Also that it will help!

Here's some Bible verses I like:

We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the

power may be of God and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4:7

Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You

need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you

will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36

I better get ready for work now.

God Bless!--Sandy
