First congratulate yourself for having this incredible insight into yourself and seeking to change - many of us dramatic martyrs ;) never realize that we alone are the source of much of much of our misery. Next, take a look at the Five Agreements (easily found on the internet), which I have found to be a very helpful guide to keeping my own emotions and reactions under control. I am indifferent to much of the new age spiritualism that accompanies the Five Agreement, but find the actual advice to be incredibly helpful. [ Reply | More

Even if someone gives up their seat, it doesn't mean the wait list is moving. DOE expects cancellations and sends out more acceptance letters than the actual seats available. I know families who got accepted in late summer and September so it happens but the chances are very very slim. [ Reply | More
