    Myself, I can't stand cognitive dissonance, it drives my already lax executive function into denial and error. (This works here Abandoned )

    After that, my family, who don't know me at all and figure all my problems result from shock, laziness, and fear.

    Surprisingly, it used to be my mother, but now she's at the bottom of the barrel below hobolo's on the street. (Abadoned hopefully we can keep this going forever! )

    Sorry A&W, I guess I spoke wrong.

    Hmmm, unconfused. It looks like there's a story I missed somewhere.

    ROFL-LMAO, Mincan, I will never forget those Rickyisms as long as I live.

    I am my own free man, and I will live my life the way I choose and no one is going to force me to live any different.

    I guess maybe my husband. My kids expect me to to them, but NO. Sometimes they forget I am mom, they are kids. I got really sick of it with growing up and the borg. I automatically used to but I am over that.

    I'm glad you're through justifying yourself to your kids. The guilt the organization put us under was intense. Congrats!

    I felt like I need to do so with my parents but then they seem more comfortable with our "don't ask, don't tell" system. My wife, who has no been out as long as I still wants to sit down and explain everything with her fam/friends.

    Mostly I feel bad for my kids for the few years of normalcy they missed...but we got out early enough to salvage a few years. To them it is more a justification of why we didn't get out earlier.

    That's good. I can't imagine what growing up a witness is like. Congrats!

    Looks like I missed one. Hey JG, whatever floats your boat. I wouldn't want to join you, but if it makes you feel good, then more power to you.
