i'm going to go find that book- "hearing" you say this stuff to heather- got me thinking about my dad dying when i ws 18 and taking on my mom's issues. i didn't think it ws bad- you do what you can tohelp a person in need. maybe i've got some big "dad" issues in life- maybe a huge part of my h's "sin" is me wanting someone to take care of me - i've wondered if he replaced his runaway mom with me- we both have some of that stuff in there somewhere.

anyway- good insights- thinking on it all - tnx for sharing perspective goop -
