[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 687583, member: 17461"] Thank you, Slimothy. :O) Good for you! You are stronger than me. I always believed everything a therapist said. I wish I'd thought about telling that first one what to do with his wrongnesses like you did. HA! I will absolutely do that now, in my thinking. Great imagery! I am glad. I feel that way, too. I love how you dealt with this. I laughed at your description of yourself as your mother's Difficult Child, and at the concept of your Baptist lifestyle as oppositional. Thinking like this puts a different spin on the lifestyles our kids are following. Isn't that something. A paradigm shift. This is terrible. I am glad you walked away. And I agree with you that those "rules" were manmade. How jealous these women must have been for all those years. And how awful of them, to have betrayed you. This makes me angry. What happened in the Church gives insight into daughter's choices. She wants it all out in the open. She refuses to be ashamed, or to hide herself away. I wonder if you know the work of Susan Howatch. All her work is excellent reading. Cashelmara, especially, is beautifully written. Much of her later work takes place within the framework of the Anglican Church. I mention her work here because one of her last books has to do with the life of a male prostitute. Somewhere in the book, there is a quote I love: "Only God knows why Gavin does what he does, and only God can judge him." I don't know whether that is an exact quote, but I think it's pretty close. Here is a little blurb about the book: Finally, [I][B]The Heartbreaker[/B][/I] follows the life of Gavin Blake, a charismatic [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitute']prostitute[/URL] specializing in powerful, influential male clients, who finds himself at the center of a criminal empire and must fight to save his life. Meanwhile, both Graham and Darrow must deal with their own weaknesses in trying to help Gavin. Here is a link to information about the writer: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Howatch[/URL] I am 64. Here too, there is a noticeable loss of attention after a certain age. Now that I have been invisible for some time, I like it. There is a freedom in it to be myself for myself. Though I will say I miss high, high heels fiercely. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
