This was really sad to hear Snap! Not even recognized as a part of the family, not having a relationship with the peron who brought you into this world. <very sorry for your loss! I get the feeling its a common census here that we dont have a close relationship with our families. I think a lot about this being maybe main reason I have avpd. I never "learned" to connect to people since my relationsship with my father and mother has always been very shallow. Anyway I dont want to hijack your post here Snap, againm sorry for your loss, but good to hear that you feel you made peace with her,
