I have totally enjoyed your latest babblings, Mojo. The stories of the fort were great. I loved the way you likened it to primitive children left to their own devices. Babble on.
And Fran, your statement about how you married a man who was mad at his mother, and then he transferred his anger toward you, really rang a bell. My W is mad at her father, and, as I mentioned on my thread, I have found some relief from my resentment by reframing her rants at me as her mind replaying the rants she endured from her father.
