You are right about the inside of Wendy's house and the way the lived.
Funny what I remembered about their place and what you remembered. I
would not have pictured you being that way. I always thought you to be
very organized and neat.
Yes my family could be described as more "normal" but as with most
families there are some deep running issues although my family is still
speaking terms and I still enjoy getting together with them. It does
seem that I have escaped from some of the issues by leaving home right
after high school and then leaving Gainesville a few years later. My
moving to VA again seemed to help. It seems that the further I got away
from the family the more I was able to disconnect from it and establish
my own identity separate from my F/0. On the other hand, my brother never
seemed to make that transition. He would "leave" home for six to nine
months but would return to live at home. He met a woman during one of
his times away, she got pregnant, he married her, move to Michigan,
divorced, and again moved home. He since then has had several off and on
relationship but nothing that lasted. I believe that he still seeks
approval of mother and has never separated from our F/O. I found it
interesting about your mother leaving you the house for several years ago
when my brother was having a difficult time said she thought she would
leave the house to him because she thought he would need it. This
disturbed me for I thought I was unfair that she would leave more to him
and not divide it evenly between all of the children. But then again I
reasoned that it is her property and she can choose to do with it as she
desires. What I find unfair about your situation is that you sister went
against your mother' desires.
How does the book discount work? Where do you go on-line for book
reviews? I will check out amazon.com.
