I don't have the perspective of being a mom so I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that side of it.<BR/><BR/>Crabby - I suspected there might be some difficulty in knowing what to say. <BR/><BR/>BagLady and Reb - I don't think there's much you could have done, but I appreciate the thought.<BR/>And yes, Dawn was always on her best behaviour around witnesses.Leah J.

And I agree totally with Crabby about the emotions it brings up, but even more so for me because I didn't realize what was going on at the time, so feel some guilt about not being able to step in and stop it. Of course, I wasn't around very much, and when I was, Dawn was usually on her best behaviour. I don't recall ever seeing her being cruel in a physical manner. She may have occasionally dished out some verbal abuse, but nothing that sticks out in my memory as anything more than the typical sibling bullshit. <BR/>I'm sorry you had to deal with that on your own.the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-64746502994145292772008-02-01T05:42:00.000-07:002008-02-01T05:42:00.000-07:00I read it too--also, before on Prozac Palace.It's ...I read it too--also, before on Prozac Palace.<BR/><BR/>It's funny (and especially odd for a former therapist) but I do indeed find the Friday's Child posts moving but difficult to comment on--it's hard to express the sad, complicated emotions they bring forth.<BR/><BR/>But life is not all sunshine and cupcakes, a fact I have trouble accepting sometimes.

Some days I suppose the impact is negative, some days I suppose positive. I am sorry your mom wasn't more "fair". As the mom, let me tell you it is not easy to be fair. It is actually quite difficult and often I don't realize there is inequity until someone snaps and calls me out on it.<BR/><BR/>Life is tough.
