I know people from diverse circles who wouldn't believe aspects of my life I choose not to let them be a part of. I was so embarrassed by my family that I seldom brought them up in conversation. For years my mother did things and spread scuttlebutt throughout the town trying to make my father look worse than he actually was. They were pariahs. I just wanted separation. That helped develop my sense of independence.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-56136263262117096382015-12-17T16:36:40.298-05:002015-12-17T16:36:40.298-05:00This is a moving post, Daddy X.

I sometimes wonder whether such issues as parental alcoholism & mental illness were harder or easier for children to cope with before they could be discussed in public.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19488905048038643062015-12-17T13:59:53.125-05:002015-12-17T13:59:53.125-05:00Like it or not, we're influenced by the world ...Like it or not, we're influenced by the world that imprinted itself on our parents, even if the effect is to make us reject their ways of thinking. I do remember how hopeful we were in the 60s, and how disappointed we were later. And even at the height of the free-love, make love not war era, it turned out that ingrained misogyny and classism were still in effect.

Always nice to hear your respective takes on our thoughts.<br /><br />Annabeth- I see people all around me making their lives more difficult than they have to be. Just by their attitude. Some people live on drama and will create it if none already exists.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-47603938299789542015-12-16T16:15:49.838-05:002015-12-16T16:15:49.838-05:00It's really interesting the way you contrast y...It's really interesting the way you contrast your attitude and beliefs with those of the generation before you. And as Lisabet says, it's part of being human to cry at least sometimes. Your comment about spreading the grief out also rings true.
