Estee, I'm right there with ya. My mom didn't give me any trouble about "that time of the month," because I had to learn about it from a book and a film strip in school, and I still didn't understand it, but she wouldn't talk to me about it.

The walking around unclothed thing my mom STILL does, and she's 76. I find it nauseating as well. No little kid needs to be looking at an unclothed adult, least of all a parent. Bleah. I'm getting sick remembering it too. It plays a fair part in my trauma, but I'll spare you why.

You are NOT gross and repulsive and disgusting, SHE is. Hang on to that.

Hugs,
Candy
