Oh, Mag, I should have of known, you, or Kat, would ask.  (I kinda figured
) Well, 
last Sunday, I went to Cornerstone .  (I know what you're thinking. . . 
WAIT...

this was just for overnight respite .) (Beth T, the O.T., what were you
saying bottom Respite?) (My parents had to go to a meeting.)  Well, anyway, 
During the first meal, I had there, this time, the staff asked me if I was
born this way. I broke down crying. I told a good friend of mine, Karen
Latham this when I was back home on Tuesday. She suggested that I tell Peg.
After I called and left a message on Peg’s answering service . I asked my
parents if I needed to have their permission to talk to Peg. Their answer
was yes. I broke down again. I feel that I shouldn’t need permission from
anybody to talk to my case-manager.
Later that day, my friend, Ronda, called and wanted to talk to me. I refused
to talk to her because she sometimes makes me depressed and you, Pat, said
before don’t talk to her when I am depressed and me Mom got after me when I
refused to talk to Ronda



Another thing that happened at Cornerstone , I was arBarguing with another
client, where I live normally (outside of Cornerstone) the staff had to get
the phone book to prove to the another client where I live.  (The another
client used to live in the town that I currently live in.)
