See you all soon - I'm off to Boston early in the morning. It's my 2nd trip since the big "D" - my parents decided to dissolve their marriage just when I had settled into mine. Go figure. Now Dad's remarried, Mom's bitter. They're not speaking to each other. This after 40 years of marriage. Try telling 2 kids they can't mention the other grandparent's name in their presence. Now I am figuring out how to stay out of it and divide the time without guilt (that word again!)
Other than that, we can't wait to see the place, see our loved ones and visit my old haunts.
Happy Spring!

Welcome to Psych City
Hello & Welcome...
I'm an aspiring writer with a full time job as a psychotherapist and mother of two tow-head elementary school kids. Did I forget to mention I am also full time employed as Chief Cook and Laundry Engineer? Although these roles leave me scant moments to write, I steal them when I can in hopes that 20 years from now I will have an archive to draw from. However, I submit and submit just in case someone wants me sooner.
I work at an inpatient psychiatric facility which often serves as both inspiration and fortitude in my journey as a writer. I also have a private practice where I see less severely suicidal or psychotic patients - more towards the functionally neurotic group in which most of us fall. In either setting, I am never ceased to be amazed at the willingness to start fresh in the face of pain, the resilience of people and the place that we all come from - love.
And so here we are in my blog at PsychCity, USA, where I hope we can create a forum to find our creative spirit and kick start our writing pens, or just plain let off some steam.

Child of bitterly divorced parents here. Rotten situation. I feel for you.
Take your time. Enjoy yourself. We'll water the blog while you're gone.
Good luck. My parents have been divorced for twenty years and things are no better today than they were then so I feel your pain.
Not a good situation for anyone. Sorry.
LOL at Stephen's willingness to take care of your blog.
Hmmm...What will he talk about?
Thanks anti-wife & travis, it's unfortunate but comforting to have people that understand.
Stephen, you remind me of my cyber chea-pet that I have sadly neglected in my absense. :-)
Chris, a good question..he might have to revert to politics...
