Kelsey,

This may be inappropriate to write, since I don’t know you at all. But it has struck me a few times when you talk about Kim that you always refer to her as your daughter, not your step-daughter. That really says something about your committment to your family. Where your heart really is, even though the situation is awful, and not your doing. You go, kid.

[...] response to all the comments on the ’soooo not festive’ post, thank you. No knives were present at the table, as all turkey arrived ‘magically’ [...]

Wow, what changes since I was last here! The new design is lovely!

I’m so sorry to hear that things aren’t looking up with your daughter yet. What a long, hard road you and your family has been down. I wish there were some perfect set of words to fix it all at once, but for now I’ll pray that God will prove himself faithful and restore your family soon.

{hugs} I have a sibling who suffers with paranoid schizophrenia, so I know a bit about crazy. I wish I’d had the opportunity to know you better when we were in Texas last Oct. at the get-together. I still have my nametag

btw, love your haircut and the photo is perfect!

Our prayers are with you all. Wish we were at the NM house to visit with you all. And we could go in search of biscochitos. I figure if our kids can find bear tracks, they can surely hunt down some cinnamon-sugary cookies for us! LOL HUGS to your family from ours, and many Thanksgiving blessings to you.

I am so sorry. I know this has been a long struggle that you do not share often…. know that you are not alone. Prayers are going up for you and your family. I can not imagine, nor do I want to. May life bring you more joy and less pain. May the knives be dull. May you laugh and smile. May the hate drain out of her…. Wishing you peace.

You’re here in my neck of the woods – wish it were under better circumstances.

Try “Way Out West” Biszcochitos – you can pick them up at any ABQ Walmart. Maybe not as great as Maria Rosa’s, but they might be an acceptable substitute.

Perhaps during one of your NM we could meet for a coffee/tea/soda.

Praying for your visit.

Hey Kelsey,
I am really sad to hear that Kim is backsliding. I hear your frustration and know it’s got to be a huge burden to bear. I will be praying for you all this weekend. You are really on my heart.
