The layers of entangled joy and pain that build up among its members over the lifetime of a family's relationships are usually too difficult for outsiders to comprehend, other than in general, 'generic' terms. There is a reason that Greek tragedy frequently dealt with that theme...

So much of this post sounds so familiar to me, and yet, I loved the good times and remember them with such fondness

Well Pat it is a job to be a ray of sunshine when one thinks back to how life could have been. I does not appear that intelligence has much bearing on deciding the pathway to assumed happiness. There again there are still misearable people living together, which in my opinion is pretty awful. People change I shudder when I think how near I have been to disaster and on the other hand wistful that I did not recognise the wonder.

There's nothing I can add to Corbin's comment, except maybe send you a hug.

When I read this Pat.......all I could think of was "Wow". You're a very special person to hang with and then get back into dealing with all of this. If there's any kind of blessing to be found it's that your family is drawing together in all of this....for there is stremgth in numbers.....and a team wins out over individual efforts any day of the week. I hope it stays an easier process for each and every one of you......
