People who have undergone a loss get a fair amount of leeway on their behavior.

If you think a caregiver has an active substance abuse problem, that person should never be entrusted with your child.

Each week I am forced to revise my original opinion that Facebook is a great innovation for keeping people in touch, to believing that it is merely a canvas for members to act out strange, unresolved conflicts and desires.
