bttrfly, the image of Ody finding his way to your yard, your flock has stuck with me all week. Lucky bird! I think I even dreamt of chickens last night.
I'm relieved to hear you found your way out of this scary situation. It is so hard to see clearly sometimes--and takes so much energy--when so much else is going on, and you have a lot going on in your life right now. I'm glad your friends and L were there to help guide you in a different direction.
I will continue sending love and strength and hopefully some respite soon--both you and your son's way.
