[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 666775, member: 18958"] I do not think this happens unless the parents encourage it. And I do not think any one of our mothers would have. The thing is, one of the things we are doing together is creating a new family system, with new rules. We are modeling things to one another of positive behavior. When I referred to having better luck with you Serenity and you Cedar, I was referring to the new family system we are creating...by how we relate to each NOW. There is no expectation of perfection...to belong....there is no expectation of conformity.... I do not know yet exactly what I mean. But I believe we are identifying new ways of relating...in a sister-like group. They are not old timey rules...like a Sorority...or to be my friend you have to or you can't....do this or that. They are process rules. To strive for.They are aspirational. Not conditional. I will think about it. And try to explain what I mean and give examples, if I choose to stand by this idea. (I may change my mind.) Donald Trump has been on the radio all day long--the interview about foreign affairs...that he is calling the gotcha interview. This will backfire on those who seek to use it against him. What Donald Trump is doing is changing the rules of politics. We are doing something similar. [/QUOTE]
