I know we all hope for better relationships. I hope that I have a much better relationship with my kids. I daily work to nurture that. I can only hope and pray that we will succeed. I do not wish the pain of my family's differences on any other family. But it distresses me to see people knock on this woman for having to suffer through it.

Laura Shlessinger (sp?) presumes to give advice to others, sometimes in a hectoring and/or unkind manner, and gets paid very handsomely to do so. I have no argument with that, but she's a public figger, and public figgers had better walk their talk.

Karma is a ***ch.

I had a real good mom and used to be in shock when people would tell me they didn't like their moms and that they never want to see them ---until they told me more what it was like growing up for them. There are some very cold moms. I wonder too how it would feel to have a mom that was a feminist aborting most of your siblings.
