I'm sorry, Reliant :( . I hope everything turns out alright.

Being myself the eldest of six (three brothers, two sisters), I can attest to the fact that life with younger siblings can be...difficult. As long as they're watching TV or otherwise distracted they're alright; the trouble is that any time they aren't, it usually means that they're playing with each other, which usually means they'll end up fighting, which usually means I have to come in and break up the fight before they pull each other's hair out :lol: :roll: . On the other hand, I'll be going away to college in about three years, so I don't have too much longer to have to stick it out. Oddly, I always kind of wanted an older sister all the same.

My sympathies, Reliant. Here's hoping for the best.

I have the impression that Rowan is undergoing counseling soon to try and ascertain why. I hope they can do something for her.

Well, it's a good sign at least that she's GOING to counsling. I've known people who've attempted and committed suicide before and the one thing MOST of them had in common was they almost never sought help until after (at least the ones that survived)

Since Rowan is still only 14 bordering 15, her parents have responsibility. And they are literally horrified at what she tried, so destraught they are paying everything they have to get her help.

As to me? I'm surviving.

Well, the good news is that she was able to come out of the hospital, that she's getting help, and that her parents seem to be more interested in getting that help than assigning blame or burying their heads. I hate to see the type of catalyst that it took; but now that all the cards are on the table, she might be able to start working through whatever she needs to.

Pfft. He has toilet paper made from truffle skins. He eats animals you've never even heard of for breakfast.
