> If my mother walked off a left me without a word, I wouldnt care if I ever saw or heard from her again!
I young woman engineer worked for me a few years back.
She admits that she was a bit wild when she was in high school, but to finish the story, she came home from school in her senior year to find that her parents and siblings had moved to another state without telling her. She struggled to graduate HS and then put herself through college, but she finally finished and finally hooked up with her family a year or two after college. I never asked how the reunion went.
A "bit" wild, eh!?
very sad.
