I read the article. What kind of response have you received? What did your family members think of it?

You came up in the time when little girls should be seen and not heard. Boy, my sister and I KNEW when adults were around, you didn't have anything to contribute.

The response has been mixed, both positive and negative. And, yikes, on my family reading it. I'm still working up the nerve to show it to them, but they will see it. I'm pretty fearless when it comes to confronting the world, but my own family is a weakness of mine. I try to do things gently, in part, because they're not ready yet but also because I'm scared.

By the way, I probably mentioned on here before that my paternal grandfather disowned me when I got married and banned me from his property. Other family members followed suit. But, being disowned wasn't that traumatic for me because I could just walk away - I didn't have to answer to anyone. It's the people who really care and want to hear what I have to say that make me uneasy to confront.
