Dear Lada:

So good to read from you and thank you for asking: I am fine.

As I wrote to you in the last post: do continue to focus on outside the home people and life. I do hope you move out September as you indicated as a possibility. I like your working in Prague plans and touring Europe.

As far as starting school and the fear you have of this, it is understandable, of course. Well, if you move out before starting school, or as you start school, this would be something very significant that will be different from last time. It is nice you had an okay time with your mother while she was relaxed, on a vacation, but she will be distressed again and living away from her will be as good as a life saver for you, I strongly believe.

This going back to school, it needs to be a different experience- living away from your mother, having minimal (if any) contact with her, being involved with loving, kind friends, a boyfriend…

Please do post again and again- it is a delight to read from you- makes my day!
