Where's McGruff when you need him?

Crime hits the family. I wanted to use the family name, but I don't know what name to use! My last name is different from my mother and sister's name; yet I don't want to use that name because I don't want to be recognized as a son of an abusive husband. I could use my mother's family name, but since that's not the actual last name of anyone in my immediate family, its another pointless exercise. I guess I'm stressing the irrelevant. Someone broke in my sister's car at a Frayser Walgreens. It's a shame that the neighborhood I lived in for nearly ten years has become so crime-ridden, but as Dre says in BOB , get back home, things are wrong, but not really it was bad all along. I was seriously victimized last year when my apartment was burglarized, so I feel for my sister. The violation is hellacious, and the time for your everyday swagger to recover is long. I can't imagine how she is doing now.

On a happier note, it's progressing with she and I. She saw my fatigue induced crankiness again. But I think she'll agree that I made up for it. She has been extremely helpful, and I am so appreciative. I pray I don't screw this one up. But oh so pessimatic I am...
