I try to help her with Elijah, but she feels like she has to do everything on her own. She just shoos me away and says, ‘I’m the only one that can feed him’. I don’t like this for her. Nina said before we try to handle it with her help that there are things I can do at home, but every time I try to mention them, Storm doesn’t want to talk about them.” “Hmmm. For starters, it’s no

Tomorrow I’ll help you with your resume,’ Debbie says, wandering back to her office. I go to my room, lie on my bed, and stare up at the roof. I roll onto my side, and face the wall. I’m grateful for all this help but I’m feeling so overwhelmed, and I’m still processing the death of my parents and my dog.
