Yo gang.
Actually, Pauline... imagining a child having to deal with a parent's nervous breakdown pretty much rattles my cage. Yet, there you are, saying you didn't have it so bad. That gives me a bit of insight, I think. Maybe some of us (read: me) are minimizing the impact that some of these events had because we are looking back on them as adults. " Well... it's not THAT earth shattering", we might think. But we didn't experience it as an adult... we were kids.
Hmmm.
