adopted family crisis and the art troll

I feel a bit discouraged today. I'm an adopted aunt and one of my adopted neices got given back to her blood family by the court system. *sigh* Now while I know few of the particulars here, as Auntie Liz lives a whole state away, I feel pretty crappy about it. There's a sense of loss here... and the rest of the kids are upset. Naturally. My nephew (my nephew... how cool does THAT sound) got into trouble at school about it. Fighting. And sad thing... I completely understand his compulsion to do so. I'm not saying it's right, but I get it. I SO get it.

I just feel so helpless here. I know all I can do is offer words of comfort, and words rarely feel inadequate to me, but they do today. It's not enough. Blood is a strong bond, but it's not always the strongest. In my heart I'll always be Thena's crazy Aunt Liz.

Oh and on another note, one of my artists friends has a troll. Tell me, ladies and ge'men, does this look like it sucks to you...



For being done from scratch and just looking at a picture, I think it rocks. I know I sure couldn't have done it. I can't stand people who try to tear others down because they're jealous. It's completely stupid.
