2. Please don't apologize for long ...

... Says the guy who practically wrote a novel on here multiple times.

I wish I could offer you some profound words of wisdom, but I am fresh out of wisdom right now. It's hard dealing with emotional, irrational people. The unpredictability alone makes it stressful.

Dealing with that myself now with my sister, I wish I knew where the switch was that controls her mood, because it's on-off and I just never know. She was so nasty and hurtful to me on Christmas and the day after. Then Thursday it was like someone threw the switch, she acted normally toward me, as if nothing had happened between us. Yesterday I really didn't want to, but I went grocery shopping and ran errands with her, just to try to humor her. Things were ok, then in the afternoon, she suddenly brought out Xmas gifts for myself and my mother, which I figured wasn't going to happen. So, I got out the tablet PC I got for her, and all she did for an hour was cry. I am unsure if she was mad because of the cost since she has always disapproved of my finances and spending, or if she felt guilty.

You have been there for me so much, it woukd be an honor to be able to return the favor, so please keep us updated as you wish, and know we're here for you.

Take care of you.

Love, Dennis.
