Mary Anne, please do not leave this site. As we all know, we all experience days when everday things are more than we can tolerate. I know I do, and unfortunatetly we take it out on family. I consider all my TM friends as part of my family. As quickly it happens, it blows over and we are sorry for our outburst. There are many of us that do not have all the pain, etc., that many of us do. Also, there are many of us who have family and friends that help us and make our lives more bearable and are more able to do things for themselves, but there are some of us who are not so lucky.
When something like this happens, I chalk it up to a bad day for someone and don't take it personally. Anyway that is my 2 cents worth.
