You have my heartfelt support. Jane Amy found a number to get hold of different stars via their fan clubs. (Trust a teenager) But I don"t know if that is good enough. However I will forward the info to you. Hilary Blue P.S. I have lots more I could say on the subject - try putting me on a talk show - and I live in Northern Virginia. (Next to DC) Latest in a long saga - I was served with a court order yesterday to have custody of another of my children taken from me - and the worst of it is -I know they are right, because I cannot do the job of parenting as it needs to be done. And what about health insurance? And Home health care? And social security? Not to mention the lectures I get from so-called friends and family, on how I don't know how to run my life or bring up my kids - but never an offer of help, or a show of understanding. Washington, Im right here, ready to march On my own if need be . I'd bring my daughters, but they're in foster care. But tears I have plenty.
