This is difficult for no person is ever all right and another all wrong
although sometimes it does seem that way, I still like the idea of Mother dancing in heaven.

PatB, Mt ex is that way & I want nothing from her at all.
Some good memories though.

Re: CCT - I wonder if women choose a mate similar to their father.
I've heard that too, CCT. Since I only had one role model, I think my first husband was basically like my mother, controlling and critical. But mom had my welfare at heart.

Re: Annicita - why not contact him and see?
I had some momentary contact with him in '56 when my first baby daughter was born. That was 56 years ago, and I learned nothing beyond the fact that he took no responsibility for anything he'd done and wasn't interested in changing. He died in '68.

follow where your instincts or needs take you....many a writer has resolved their past either through fiction and/or uncovering the truth....maybe you will do both....why not contact him and see ...

I wonder Pat do women when young subconsciously choose a mate similar to their father. It could be possible if one was trying to find a love that had been taken from them for whatever reason. Of course as one becomes more aware, one is probably not over enthusiastic with the choice.

Suddenly I feel so... influential!
And that reminds me, I didn't get my flu shot yet, this year.

Now you and Ciel have me wondering about a person that was in my life for 50 years and I always wondered about but never even thought sociopath, but now I'm thinking....maybe.

Whichever way you go (or your characters take you), I know it is going to be one great tale. You're that kind of a writer. Looking forward to reading it!
