wildcat, did you ever see "strangers on a train"? my mother always told me i was never normal, too sensitive and exaggerated everything. my "dad" told me when i was 11 that he was not my dad, that my mom had been married before. so i question mom, who is my father? she says "not the puerto rican". finally years later she tells me his name was ron, it was a one-night stand, finally years later she tells me she and ron actually were both married to other people and had a 6 month affair! when i first went to a therapist (14 years ago) he tells me to let go of my anger - that or grab a baseball bat and drive up to ohio and beat her with it! i'll give your dad the good swift kick in the ass he deserves, if you give it to my mom (the liar and scapegoater).
