Holy cow, GBO, I think Mr. Wonderful and I are the poster children for the kids with chaotic upbringings. Slowly, you haven't discussed NG's roots but yours certainly sounds a bit, well, different as well.
I'm working as a volunteer at Borders on Wednesday night for D7's school fund raiser. I'm going to look for this one myself. Uh oh, I just realized I broke a pact I made with myself: no self help books until 2005! I'm now a liar to boot...
This sounds like an excellent read! Thanks!

p.s. Slowly, how the heck are you doing?
