Thank you - and thank you for this:
'How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.'
How did I fall so far from the freewritehouse?
Thank you for reading and commenting!
You - @owasco, @deirdyweirdy, @myjob, all of you - are THE BEST!!
@owasco, no, I have not read HOUSEKEEPING, nor the memoir by another famously abused author, "Change Me into Zeus's Daughter: A Memoir" by Barbara Robinette Moss, and yes, I do remember reading that the first daughter of Rex and Mary Wall moved to NYC, followed by Jeanette, then the next sibling, and they rescued the little brother from the parents and raised him as well - and then the parents show up, wanting to move in with the kids, but then the parents end up homeless and dive in Dumpsters ...
Please do write again, @owasco. Why do you and I both find writing more arduous and less of a flow of thoughts and ideas than it once was...????
I seriously worry about dementia. Putting thoughts together, coherently, logically, is getting harder all the time. MUST KEEP WRITING to stave off #BrainRot, #dementia!!!!
So much catching up to do.....!!!!
