I'm sorry about your son. That's a bad and complicated situation. Also, quite common it seems these days. I hope it works out.
The news thing. You're right, I find out things from people I talk with, most of which doesn't affect or influence me, so why watch the news? Landslide in China? I wasn't there. Horrific car crash in Queensland? I wasn't there. I think you understand. I'd rather seek my information and selectively take it in.
Thanks for your comment.
