OH! There you are, Elisabeth wink . Thought you looked a little funny earlier.

I think I wrote that part about the 2yo the week before my 2yo turned 3. She has no clue what it means. You're right about the family thing. Visiting family - three days can be the limit, but as a daily part of your living relationships is different. This is also 20 years ago - we're *still* working against the 'she must have asked for it' stigma - though I think that's a less pervasive attitude than before. I am so sorry to hear about what your mother went through - I can't imagine it. And you're right - big picture isn't always the focus.

I don't remember your fic - I'll have to look it up when I have a few minutes [Got something big to BR today wink !! If you think *I'm* evil, wait till you see this one - *shudder*.]

Thanks again - part 17 is up.
