You know in a way I identify with Muffled as I was married at l8 and a Mother at l9 and my own Mother died when I was l7. I brought myself up as she was sick from the time I was two. Physical stuff but the new on the market prednisone affected her mind so she ranted, raved at me that I was killing her and I'd made her sick at age two by carrying me up two flights of stairs. Well I know this isn't true and I chose to forgive her as it was the medication talking. She was a real estate broker insurance broker in the 40's and 50's when women didn't do those things so i know she was very strong till she became sick. I tried to bring mine up to be independant never yelled or spanked them and they all have four or more years of college and I'm proud of them. But they are more independant than I wanted. So our family is really split. But at least I know they can take care of themselves and that is what I had them for to raise them and give them wings to fly. I don't want to be a Mother who is a burden to her children no and I won't. So I'll take care of me and they will take care of them and if they need me I'm there otherwise I don't interfer. That's the best gift I could ever give them. They don't need money I do but that's my problem not theres Wow what a rant. Love Phillipa
