In Reply to: I am talking about small branches of - Have you tried

very very ill - Joan_Crawford type if female......just like the woman who raised me (my mother) - cost me 20 years of therapy (10 by choice).....however, I've been fine for over 30 years because I was my own hero and left her and never looked backward....my life is full....she was still wishing her own death at 73 and died at 74..... She missed the entire journey...... you keep hitting and switchin' and you'll be missing the entire journey and be a lonely old person IF the Good Lord allows you to get old.... Like another poster said - switching on legs went out with the 1950s.....
