In thinking back on your original post about being "broken," it sounds like your mother was incompetent in understanding you. It sounds like you have a very interesting career and have indeed reached a high level of success in your chosen field. You have indeed amounted to something and I hope you see yourself through your own eyes.
I very much swooned at the idea of declaring one's own mother incompetent-- but you actually have the means and expertise to do so. Very cool. Thanks for sharing this bit about you and your work.
