Warning that I'm going to veer away from the original topic.

<< Looking back I wonder why I had to do all that but I guess it's the

It's still happening.
That's why it's so hard, I think, for families who are trying to be different
to just live their lives without so much side commentary about "just hit

wonder if we are making any head way....but we are; it's just

frustrating to deal with outdated, old fashioned emotional garbage. -=-

I think our kids will not fall into stuff like that. They can't "fall into
it." They didn't grow up with it! Things are changing, but it does seem
slow.

Yesterday I got an e-mail. Probably lots of other people who are listed
somewhere or other as contacts did too:

No thank you.
