Amen Driftwood. I know this feeling very well. I grew up with seeing it in my brother, and at times I find my eldest son with that same sad look in his eyes. It takes my breath away.
Yes,fmn, reading your pages I have been moved by the sorrow of some of your life experiences. ((Hugs))

That's so true. Terry (The Road to Kingdom Come), see link on my recent post "blogger friends" had a harrowing experience. He so well describes that "sick feeling in your stomach" that you get when someone you love is depressed and struggling. ((Hugs to you))
