Re: Laverne and Shirley and my mother

That's a gentle way to speak about the complex feelings a child could have

Glad you found that on YouTube and could reminisce.

I recently rewatched that episode too. It was great how open her mother was to

hearing that and changing her behavior. Just like real life. NOT! That

episode was very much about young adults learning to individuate, something

nadas tend to fight with us about!

My friends didn't really get it.

They just listened.

I really thought they would understand, so it felt really bad when I realized

they didn't.

" Sigh!! how neatly they wrapped up years of bad treatment! " Blah.
