Hi Cearna,
That's a really interesting story you tell. Sad, of course with all the tragedy and emotional invalidation. Invalidating thoughts and behaviors would be such a small thing to fix but it would have such profound benefits... Talk about useless...That should be the human meme. I'm thinking now that is why so many are obsessed with status, money, possessions...to escape that seemingly inescapable sense of the useless.
So what was decided on the time of birth, Aianawa?
