"And it starts with each one of us respectfully listening to, and learning from, each other - one small step at a time." I clearly understand the truth of this, Mark, and find it easier said than done. One small step at a time, indeed. I DO have moments of patience and generosity toward one of my family members, and am working on it. Other times I just want to flee from his unfathomable ignorance or hit him on the head with a large mallet for being so very stupid. And I am not a violent person, by any means. sigh...
Hi Sharon - I have just started to work on a new, more in-depth article to address a number of the challenges that you've been dealing with - some "do's and don'ts" which I've been learning and relearning over the years. I think they're starting to stick so I'll be in a better position to pass the suggestions along.

Excellent! Thanks for letting me know, Mark.
I so fully understand where you're coming from - extremely frustrating, but still worth the pursuit . . . to be discussed.
Very excited to read!
