The Glass Castle

juz finished tis, the story is powerful and i couldn't put it dwn coz i had to find out how the Walls kids survived and got away from it all, it was simply irresistable.

the degree of neglect and how irresponsible parents can b, is deeply shocking, especially since i haf parents hoo luv mi so much.

i read tis from the interview tat jeannette walls did and related to it strongly

"When I sat down to write The Glass Castle, there was no doubt in my mind that once the truth about me was out I would lose all my friends and my job. So far, the reaction has been the opposite. I'm just stunned. I think I've shortchanged people and their capacity for compassion."

i was reminded of the time ivy found out abt my divorce thru the blog when she saw my posting 'My Failed Marriage'

i totally freaked out when she emailed mi and was in tears and on the phone wif pauline and yvonne. they oso found out via my blog and we had barely got back from a reunion and gers nite out session a couple of days ago.

in the end, it turned out tat all my fears were purely my own demons. i thot colleagues would NBR understand, especially the older ones yet they haf shown so much understanding.

it wasn't a subject tat i voluntarily discuss or share but everyone hoo found out one way or another haf been wonderful to mi.
