Pax,
I agree. I wasn't sure I would have it in me to reply to your post. I grew up with that "Don't get involved - stay out of it - mind your own business" mentality.
Your poignant post was a vivid reminder of how I saw the world as an eight year old.
After writing two posts then backing out, I just finally went with the voice in my head that said "go ahead, for once stop thinking about what people think about you and take the risk."
My secrets suddenly don't seem as painful since hitting the "confirm" button. Of course, I also realize I need a lot more help in fusing my two sets of childhood memories - the good times and the not so good times, but I've seen that I can open the door just a crack . . . so that's a start.
Thanks again, Pax. Sometimes the planets are aligned correctly for all the right reasons.
Lee
