Is anyone out there?

I am beginning to wonder whether anyone is reading these posts. If you are lurking, please drop a word or two to let me know you are reading them. I would appreciate it.

I'm here!

You're right, it's important to receive comments on your blog; otherwise, the writing is a private journal--or so it seems.

I was sad to read the long post about your uncle because I think that, finally, there is nothing you can do to help without risking your own family relationship, your parents' security, and your future.

There is only so much to go around of any one person, and you are already spread so thin that I don't know how you can say yes to the very outings that give you a break, let along find time for another very needy person.

Thanks Lou. It is good to have you back.
You are right, and I have let my uncle know as much, repeatedly, though it hurts me to do it. I feel for his son, and I think that years down the line, he will feel heavy guilt if his father kills himself (as his mother did) or goes completely mad. I have already in the past tried appealing to him, but he is deaf to my entreaties.

Yes, I'm here too, even if I don't always respond! I appreciate your insightful and interesting commentary on your life and the world around you.

Thanks Robin. If my life were a bit more interesting, I might have more readers.
