I dunno - it just seems to me that with voicemail, e-mail, text and IM -- how does anyone trust anyone in any kind of relationship at al these days?


I mean I have never really been a very trusting person but come on?!! I don't care if you are two marrieds, one M and one S or two single....between computers and cellphones any kind of relationship - right, wrong or otherwise is pathetic and twisted. Today's instant gratification requirements put the standards of just trying to be content in a realtionship for any length of time to new stresses.

Thanks guys for your support, but I'm OK. Just a rough day that's all. I was telling a friend that I had responded to this call on 12/23, and a man had accidentally run over his only child, and killed her. He carried his dead baby back to his house and called 911. He was so distraught that they had to sedate him at the scene, and we usually don't allow that. I have seen a lot, but this is sticking w/ me for some reason.

Yes, it is taboo to seek help. They put you on the rubber gun squad, but I don't care anymore. I'm going to see someone after the holidays. I realize that that is a need that I have right now. I have to say that they are really trying to change that taboo mentality, and are encouraging us to seek help when we need it. So, that's good. I'm just not going through the department for help.

Again, thank you guys for your concern. It really helps.

OMG Justice -


What a horrible call to have to go out on - of course that is sticking with you - as a woman and a mother - ugh.


So glad you appear to be doing a bit better - and that you are going to find someone to talk to after the holidays - it's simply one of those things you have to do for YOU - and you and your children are indeed the most important people in your world - gotta take care of that family.


You know we are all here for you - whenever you need us.
