I'm so sorry, honey. I know I can't do much, but let me buy you a drink on Sunday? Or I could tell the crappy "When the judge wouldn't let me talk or even stay in the courtroom during the custody hearing" story.

So yeah, I totally understand where you're coming from with this, and I hope things turn out well.

You can buy me a drink on Sunday because it's my birthday. On the subject of HMF, I'd just as soon leave it at knowing that you're there, commiserating.

As for the custody hearing...yeah...that's why I know you. Y'know?

Fair enough. I'll even let you get in a little "Oh, your brief draft is due this week? Mwa ha ha..."

How could one *not* believe in that sort of thing?

In a strange sort of way...this was exactly the sort of thing that I got into law to be able to help with...
Maybe this is another nudge...reminding me of what I need to be doing, what I need to be looking at.

I dunno...but the more I think about it, the more unhappy I am.

Oh, sweetie. What a sucky situation. I *hate* feeling like people who are supposed to be actually caring are, instead, in it for the powertrip. It's like expecting a nice latte and getting a cup full of poo instead.

And you're right - it's NOT OK. Don't try to twist yourself into knots to *make* it OK when it's not ever going to be OK.

I'm glad you were there for her as much as you could be, given the awkwardness of the situation. And I'm glad it's giving you clarity and direction in life.

But I'm sorry you're hurting vicariously, that's usually rough, too. Don't let this make you bitter, but instead fuel the fire that brought you to Law in the first place.

(hugs and kisses if they make it better somehow)

Honestly, I've never been happier for you and the path you're on -----your compassion/logic combo is needed. I am so glad you were there for her.
