[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 13262, member: 59"] I have heard comments by Rosie in the past that led me to believe her upbringing was awful. I have to say JoG that I have witnessed this in my life, adults who rather embellish how horrible their childhood years were(and it goes way beyond having to walk 10miles in the snow to get to school). I even have a sister who for the past 45 years has blamed our parents for every bad thing that ever happened to her, even though Mom just about raised her oldest daughter while she worked. But she has no contact with us and her life is a mess, because of her horrible childhood. I have another sister and neither of us seem to be afflicted by the same awful childhood. There comes a point in everyone's adult life when they have to put their awful childhood behind them and take responsibility for their own happiness or misery. I believe that as long as you have to complain about your upbringing, the longer you can use it as an excuse for changing. I'm sure growing up gay must have been difficult and I'm sure her parents probably had a difficult time with it but get over it already. They probably did the best they could with what they knew at the time. Not to get into a religious discussion but the Catholics are not exactly tolerant of gays even today. Nancy P.S. I like Rosie so I'm not trying to rag on her. The topic just got me thinking. [/QUOTE]
