Somehow I missed the thread Deborah (D'vorah) wrote about Crossed Wires. I don't remember my mother making me feel the way Deborah and Mattye describe, but something caused me to be miswired too.

I tend to ramble on so on the threads, I think it will be to everyone's best interest if I just start journaling here. As anyone may know, the Obese Raw Foodists thread is where my heart is and I will post there before anywhere else. I am obese and my fellow sufferers have my heart. But I think in the interest of growing as a whole person, I must begin writing.
