Thanks {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Auntie Em}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} for puting into words something that had been playing hide and seek in my brain already. Seems like we have some of the same issues, Art and I. Like abandonment and abuse. He's very giving but I'm not so sure that it isn't a tool, ya know?

It's completely inappropriate and self-serving.

Yes, ma'am! It sure is, now that you mention it! But... even if his giving is because he knows I need it? He was treating me this way before Jerry left.

I don't NEED these complications!! Maybe if I tell him that?
