"Hi all,
When it comes to teenage sons, keep in mind that men are generally hardwired to want to fix things. These teenagers are men in practice, so they might get so frustrated that they can't "fix" anything in this situation. They…"

Leeanne,
I've decided that I need to focus on statements/responses for groups and firsts because I think part of the problem is being caught off guard. At the Wedding, sure as Hell, someone will say "How are you holding up Honey?" Think of response now! that's what I plan to do . I have found myself crying and babbling in front of people at these kinds of questions because I stopped and thought about How I'm doing. Don't. Be prepared. Don't( at that particular moment) stop to think about how you're doing. Do that in private.
