I just realized that my mother has been dead for 18 yrs. I'm almost at the point in my life where I've lived longer without her than when she was alive. She was a great woman married to a complete asshole. Those of you who have mothers still around, be thankful, even if she's a pain in the ass. Ok, carry on then.
We will give you a pass because you are new and a woman and moms _are_ super special - but you are really taking a chance opening up like that around here.
Some of us are "subhuman pieces of shit" that would make spiteful cutting remarks about a topic so close to the heart.
