We've actually been quite lucky so far thanks to brilliant manipulation on Miss A's part.<BR/><BR/>We'll keep you in our thoughts. And do keep writing. It's good therapy.<BR/><BR/>And Pat's convent suggestion is fantastic. I'll have to talk to my own mother about that one. I wonder if I could find a monastery to take my father. He'd get kicked out for swearing though.

I know "the system", and it is worse than sucking on your son's gym clothes that have stayed in his locker all year. <BR/>I am also sorry that you have a mother like that. I can't say that mine is the same.My mother went in a cloistered convent over 20 years ago, so, I guess I am lucky.<BR/>But, it is still good to hear from you both.

If your particular mother was a blessing, good on ya.Kwachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947544432313181778noreply@blogger.com
