Thank you. I have reached out to Harriet who has kindly offered to talk with me. I was very happy to receive your response. Isa has been living with us since she was 5 years old. She will be 11 this August. Her mother has MS and was diagnosed as having a borderline personality. Her father struggles. I'm 67 and my husband is 80 and is in a spiraling, cognitive decline. My days are challenging and growing more so as Isa matures. It's such a fast society. Middle school terrifies me! It's a real help to connect with others that have managed some of the challenges with this second round of late life child rearing.
