    @skippygirlsmom I am so glad she is home with you now. I was hoping as I was reading that you pulled her out of the dorm and brought her home. What horrible horrible mess! Ugh!

    @skippygirlsmom I was just thinking of you yesterday and wondering how Skip was doing. I can't even express my thoughts right now but they involve a whole string of *kittens.* Now that Skip is well clear of that program I hope you will follow up with the Dean of Students, the RA, whoever the boss of the RA is, and other people at the school, because it doesn't sound to me as though the school did everything they could to help her - at least not at the highest level - if this sort of nonsense is allowed to continue until some future girl does kill herself they will have lawsuits, and surely they don't want that.

    Will definitely pray for you and Skippy! Enjoy your rest, you have earned some peace.

    @skippygirlsmom <3 I am so sorry for both Skip and you. That was one of the most terrifying stories I have heard in a long time. I will be praying for you both.

    As for me, Friday was a scheduled rest day ... just walked the dogs. Yesterday my husband walked the dogs so I didn't even do that!

    Today, it felt bitter cold early this morning. We waited until after breakfast and it had warmed up a bit, then went out for 2.51 miles. The first mile or so I continue to take walking breaks, but after that I'm good. We only stopped when the dogs insisted on a potty/sniff break.

    November total: 22.43/28 miles

    @skippygirlsmom I am so sorry Skip and you are going through all that pain. I have no words of wisdom to help, just a hope and a prayer that things look better for your family soon.

    Oh @skippygirlsmom I have been thinking how we haven’t seen you for a while or had an update on Skip.

    That’s not the update I wanted to read and I was terrified scrolling down that things would be worse. I am so so sorry this has gone on. As you say, a tiny part of this is usual freshman stuff, but the rest sounds utterly horrid and the college, particularly the run team should do more.

    I’m not the praying type but I am sending good vibes your way, don’t be too hard on Skip - she’s young, she’s gone through many changes of starting school/independence, and all the stoopid things we do at that age. What she needs most is for you to be there for her, which thankfully you are.

    Sounds like she will have more opportunities coming her way once it settles down more. So very sorry to hear your update. We are all here for you AND Skip.

    @skippygirlsmom - Once before when there was a SkippyGirl issue with a boy we all offered to come and 'show our support' if necessary. I am sure that offer still stands if we all need to come talk those girls or the Assistant Coach! Seriously, my heart is hurting for you both and can't believe this happened and the Coach and school took no action really to stop it or get Skip out of the environment. I am glad her professors are willing to let her finish up the semester at home with you.

    Cute puppies are the best - sometimes even better than hugs! @mbaker566 are you going to keep this little cutie?

    @skippygirlsmom I am so sorry to hear about her situation. Honestly, I am not surprised. Sports programs seem to run wild at a lot of schools. Look at all the gymnast stuff still coming out of Michigan. It's sad and scary. I wish I could do more to help but sending you and Skip positive thoughts.
