Liz, It's amazing that the silliest things can make me feel better. Even just a smile on my husband's face does it. I think that it was so bad for so long that it's difficult to trust that it won't always be that way. Like he said, our family is closer and more tolerant of each other -which is a hard feat to accomplish with teenagers. Thanks so much for your kind thoughts. I just love this website. Sue
