Racer, I've read several of your posts and thought you were a man. I hope that doesn't offend - I just thought you might find it interesting.
I can't quite get the distinction between pride in one's accomplishments, and vanity. I seem to be in constant need of having my accomplishments witnessed and praised. And thanks for what you wrote about your mother - it is the case with mine as well and I never thought of it. I used to be one who told kids "the truth". What a ridiculous thing to do, and how hurtful.
I am trying to learn to accept that I am not perfect.And you: if nothing else, do you ever write well!
