I'm soooo sorry you've gone out of your way (another airport, another trip away from the comfort and security of your own home) only to get gobsmacked again by the DNA-sharing humanoids who are supposed to be family. Meh. Let them go. Love the ones you're with, the ones who know you and love you unconditionally and don't harbor all those delusions.
I love this quotable quote from you:
That’s what makes these things so hard to take: if we were simply dealing with reality, we could comb through memories and try to find what needs fixing. But instead, we’re having to tiptoe around delusions and distortions, and nothing is reliable, not even their own words.
Welcome to my world. (And yes, I never totally gave up the dream of changing the world! "Be the change you want"--yes, I try!)
I don't think I told you that my son threatened to come after me if I ever publish a memoir. Hmmm... I wonder what makes him so nervous? I am, however, thinking of re-publishing all my books under a different name, since my current pen name is a combination of his and my daughter's middle names. That's something we can look at when Michel and I stand up the new publishing company, hopefully later this year.
