And now I read about your mother.<BR/><BR/>Now, it's difficult, if not down rude to say anything negative about someone's mother but jeez I just can't see why she would treat you that way. And your 'inheritance'? That's awful. I tell you aims, you're a nicer woman than me.<BR/><BR/>I know this is your life and writing it must be hard, but it's <B>such</B> a good read:-) Thank you:-)Lane Mathiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147122748453850264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028121825203381857.post-86229433607937859022008-03-13T01:17:00.000-06:002008-03-13T01:17:00.000-06:00I just don't know what to say about your mother! ...I just don't know what to say about your mother! It's hard to believe she could have singled out one child so for constant belittlement...<BR/><BR/>But since I don't believe for a minute that she could have succeeded in driving D away - and since he more and more seems to me to be going to be The One... well, she got comeuppance of a kind didn't she, even in her lifetime?<BR/><BR/>One shouldn't be talking of comeuppance in connection with one's mother, I know that - but yours did seem to have broken all the rules!<BR/><BR/>Is a happy ending just about in sight now though? You might give us just the tiniest clue. Even though that would mean the end of the story of course, and we would all be left with nowhere much to go with our coffee in the mornings...I Beatricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671136605194399080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028121825203381857.post-35885020508117677492008-03-13T00:15:00.000-06:002008-03-13T00:15:00.000-06:00Yay to 'D' coming back and 'Stuff' your mother!!Yay to 'D' coming back and 'Stuff' your mother!!Mzungu Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396426353987429483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028121825203381857.post-76617974736198378382008-03-12T21:12:00.000-06:002008-03-12T21:12:00.000-06:00Wow, you sure put up with a lot from your family. ...Wow, you sure put up with a lot from your family.
