no name for this one...wait...Venting!

My daughter inlaw called me to vent abut things that were happening in her life...I listened and gave a suggestion which it seems my son had also said too. I sure don't mind listening to any of them venting, crying etc, etc since I have done my share of these too...It helps to hear or say what is upsetting someone. when it is said out loud sometimes it helps to see the "forest for the trees" as it were. I hope I was a little bit of help because she has been an unbelievable help for me!
