Perna, thank you for this post! It made me realize something....
...my Mom's mom died when my Mom was maybe 10 years old. No one taught her all the girly stuff and no one probably cared if she fit in or not or showed her how to. So...it probably never even occurred to her to do those things for me! She wasn't taught those things, why would it even occur to her to teach her own daughter. Maybe this will help me to let go of some of the anger I have at my Mom for just never noticing "me" as a kid. Maybe it really never occurred to her!
Okay, sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread, this just really struck me!
