About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Where to begin
I am the bearer of bad news. Everyone likes to come to me with the truth that no one wants to hear. How I got this appointment, I'll never know. For the past few years I have watched someone continually screw up, knowing they are in denial about the demons they fight. Not a pretty sight. No one seems to believe it, so I gather evidence. Never felt good about it, but I did it. Nothing came of it. This person fesssed up, thought they were turning a corner, only to find out it's worse than I ever dreamed. I wanted to force them to get help before I left for the summer, but had no backing. I amtired of watching, voicing my opinion to others involved, including the one in question. Money isn't the only issue here. How long can a person continue to abuse their body before they wind up dead? It scares the hell out of me. I admit it. But that is where we are headed.

So now I sit here trying to figure out just what I need to do next. It isn't a pretty job, nor one I take lightly, but I refuse to sit back and continue to watch the train wreck in action. I've had enough. Let the chips fall where they may.
