Family Matters

I went to the hospital yesterday afternoon expecting a fight, but Eric had stopped being grumpy and aggressive and the hour passed without incident. I'm glad. I don't like myself when I'm angry.

My daughter has posted an excellent article about her upbringing. Read it here.

Away from her.

Excellent article. You are a pagan? My ancestor was Chief Druid or some such.

A pagan? I suppose so. I was active on the scene through the 90s. I'm retired now, but my world view still puts me in the pagan camp.

Very nice article.

Alice has a very balanced view of how things are and should be. I enjoyed reading that.

Nice article. But I'm guessing you held a lot back for her sake, about how it *really* was.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

It works both ways. There are things in her article I never knew. :)

Ah, that's interesting.

Don't mind me, for personal reasons I tend to see too much of the architecture of that particular variety of falling-down house.

That is a great article! This is not the usual "I'm all messed up and it's all my parents' fault!" article. Alice simply tells her story without negative judgments of her parents - or her brothers who "went along" with their peers. I see genuine love for all of her parents. Of course you are proud of her!
