LIssett, there you have it. Puffy's mom had men - which is just about the worst thing that a woman can do as far as a male kid is concerned. ALso she 'bought' love, probably as a substitute for what she wasn't giving to her kids.

Puffy's dad 'listened' but didn't hear. Your kids will be OK because they have you amd your loving family, and your fabulous friends. Truly. Cycles can be broken. There is a book called 'Healing in the Family Chain' which a friend is goig to lend to me, so I don't know whether it is good or not. If it is I will post details.

PS just took the brownies out of the oven, and the smell of chocalate is just wonderful. I am sending some over for you and your kids.
