Wendy, now I haven't. I'm just beginning to get into this.

OMG! You have an uncanny way of finding the chink in my armor, you know that? I'm not blaming you in the least! It just seems that it never fails. LOL

Yes, my daughter told me once that what she had needed was a mother, not a best friend. We were friends but there were some things I didn't confide in her... Sex was tabboo because SHE set that boundary... and I honored it. All I ever discussed with her was the normal things you discuss with a normal 11 yr old. If it was ever brought up, it was because she brought it up.

Dang, Wendy! I don't want to read that book! I will, though, and I'm sure I'm going to find a lot of things in there about my mother, gmother and I, too. They knew NOTHING of boundaries! So the crap did roll downhill after all!
