I'm glad the issues were resolved and you have a loving family around you to help each out in difficult circumstances. I'm hoping to do the A-Z as well - just got to find time, oh and a theme.

The residues of childhood trauma are hard to get rid of, no wonder its persisted in some ways. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life. Enjoyed it.<br /><br />I am participating in the A-Z, your theme sounds seriously cool!<br /><br />Best of luck,<br />Nilanjana.Nilanjana Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656370320322301943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17266281.post-19373448670247209302014-03-26T23:40:29.005-04:002014-03-26T23:40:29.005-04:00Wow, those are some memorable moments. ;) My dad h...Wow, those are some memorable moments. ;) My dad has been in jail for things he actually did do, but they were only ever traffic infringements. He would stay overnight rather than pay the fine, and he was really disappointed they didn't let him take his camera with him (he's a photographer). :PTrishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17266281.post-32136410905624553812014-03-26T22:33:56.719-04:002014-03-26T22:33:56.719-04:00Wow, well told!

And the repercussions in your adult life shows how deeply the fear entrenched itself. There's nothing like a true story to resonate with readers.

Very insightful. And, Lisa, listen to your mum, she's right! Keep writing, keep dreaming. Don't give up. It's not the publishing that is important. Honestly.
