| I have only been thinking about this thread, because I want to finish the project I'm working on. Right now, I have glue drying. I have a hard time getting started, but once engaged, I have a head full of relevant details, and interruptions are very hard on the process. Scott Adams (Dilbert) remarks... |

| Well, I'll try this. In reply to Mona Pereth, of Jan 3 12:22 AM: Human memory is not like a book or a movie. Every time it is "read" it gets re-written, and it may have gotten edited. In my ex, it only took days for a vague suspicion to become "solid fact" in her mind. My support... |

| My parents were traumatized in different ways by their childhoods, and then by history marching on to put them in a world they had never prepared for. They were pretty overwhelmed without the puzzle of myself. It didn't help, of course, when they did try to get help for me, and the helpers started t... |

| When I try to quote and reply, I just get a "check for secure connection" loop. I suspect someone got offended. |

| I had a terrible weekend group course put on by a practice where a successful "natural" counsellor was trying to turn over the business to her assistant, who was just trying to do what had worked for what looked most similar to her, but she had no clue. My best counsellor is also a "n... |

| No, the women were far from powerless. Ma nature is not that mean. The biggest difference in power was that the women could not brag about what they did, because it was either of only local concern, or involved deception rather than force. In the US, women got the vote because public prosecutors wa... |

| Deep in our pre-verbal, hard-wired brains, we have two separate and distinct moral codes that can make us "feel right" when applied, whatever the evidence says. One code is for use within the home, which is a sheltered facility for raising children, who start off almost helpless, and a da... |

A friend was messaging about how she wanted to euthanise herself because... |
