It's brave of you to peel yours in public.<BR/><BR/>I do think Terrie made an excellent point though, well worth mulling. We're all human and god knows I've sure erred in the parenting department. <BR/><BR/>I hope in time you'll be able to forgive those who have wronged you. That's about the only way I know to truly get rid of certain pains.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, c'meer and have a hug. :)Frank Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766219281485749395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-62903628205805976092008-06-28T22:28:00.000-06:002008-06-28T22:28:00.000-06:00Yeah, that's about it, TL.

And again, in ways, I relate (though not on the sibling level, my brother is a sweetheart :) ). <BR/><BR/>But I've learned that the squeaky wheels get greased all over the place, often given free passes for what would seem to any reasonable person to be appalling behavior, while we tough, resilient and dignified types get overlooked and taken for granted.Thomma Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490964079393282131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-51014475214068960422008-06-27T15:42:00.000-06:002008-06-27T15:42:00.000-06:00dfTerrie - Thanks.

It's not right; it's never been right.<BR/><BR/>I would say one thing: Parents have frailties and quirks and weaknesses and it is important to know that these things are part of the parents personality and have nothing to do with the child being short changed. The parents actions or lack thereof are because of the parent not because of the child.<BR/><BR/>TerrieTerrie Farley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-5298542757563915352008-06-27T13:56:00.000-06:002008-06-27T13:56:00.000-06:00Thanks, Reb.Thanks, Reb.Leah J.

(not talking about the sewing machine - he should have asked you first about that, but that was a bad time in your lives, and he was under a lot of strain)<BR/><BR/>Your dad knew that you were much more resilient than your sister, and the squeaky wheel gets the grease, as always. <BR/><BR/>He relied on you for so much and knew that you were capable of handling anything that was thrown at you. <BR/><BR/>We've all suffered at one time or another at the hands of people being thoughtless. It just seems that you suffered more than most. <BR/><BR/>As I have said before, I wish I had known.the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-50899571985159162222008-06-27T07:51:00.000-06:002008-06-27T07:51:00.000-06:00Hi, Mark.Hi, Mark.Leah J.
