There is not one book I wrote related to Web in my posession. The reason is I now understand I thought because my mother who pub'd 7 books and wrote 3 novels would be proud of me. Her response: "I'm jealous of the attention from them and I hate seeing your father's name on them."

Damn. That was cold of her. I doubt it's much consolation, but I remember being young and in the bookstore looking at computer books and your books would stand out because they were the few with a woman's name as the author.

Cold was a specialty, but again, I have so much more compassion and absolute forgiveness for her. The damage at my age is for me to work on, and I do.

All is forgiven. Love does transcend abuse. It doesn't mean I'm not very damaged but I did not break and did a lifetime of self-driven relentless search for meaning, truth, therapy, comfort and ultimately the greatest but decades to learn to see bot her damage and beautiful truth

Thank you! I'm so glad your girlfriend found comfort. I have too - for me the turning point was a painting I did in Art Therapy for CPTSD. Also, reading about this theory in scholarly work so to read this now? Wow. Is your g/f hypersensitive (Hyperempath is in use now. Hate it!)

Oh Molly.. How could the world possibly appreciate you enough to undo such wounds? There is insufficient bandwidth for compassion, so you must heal as best you can - by owning books or not..
