Pachy I think your mother and mine were very much alike.
I used to (and still do in times of stress and failure) HATE my mother for what she did. But now I am really beginning to see that she was very unstable -- "borderline" if you will. It is quite an education to see reasons for what people do, within a society that has so much condemnation instead of comprehension. That is another thing that I feel sets me apart from most of the rest of society, and for which at times I feel very afraid and alone.
