Oooops, I jumped threads. That post was supposed be a reply to a post of Lather's on Rambi. Sorry for the intrusion.

E, dear friend--in too many ways to count--I do wish you had been able to link to the actual beta! Have you talked with SI Bob about this problem? (What was the posting, if it is not too private, as I can still for the moment move between both versions of SI and should be glad to post it for you while I am still able to do so?) You and I have talked about these issues--admittedly in PMs very often, which are not available to the thread. But, as I reminded Neenny, when she was so enthralled by the thoughtful posting on masks (wasn't it you, Michael?) that we are responsible for our masks and who we emerge as people. Some of us go into therapy or other paths to begin to comprehend where our thought patterns started to be set so that we do not mindlessly repeat the patterns of generations. I have one very dear friend--the person for whom I have been consulting--who is in the midst of just such a painful examination of the interactions between him and his about-to-be ex-wife and of the interactions in all of the rest of his previous life. I cannot convey how much respect I have for a person in his late fifties who finally--and irrevocably--refuses to take the easy way out. Especially as it seems to be she who is taking the easy way out. He is--painfully--examining the legacy of her family and of his and looking with very little hope(for reasons not germaine to this thread), to live a more aware life. I honor this effort.

>My mother was mad, and an out of control hysteric, and depressed, and paranoid and violent, but she wasn't evil. This is my opinion; because if she couldn't help all the strange things she did, it doesn't seem right to call her evil.< A thousand apologies - that was not my intention. It wasn't even something that occurred to me. It just struck me as ironically likely that your mother could have honestly sabotaged her own intention to put the coin in the envelope. I see that there was a more sinister interpretation of my post - and I am mortified.
