Rita...did you ever discuss these messages with your mother? Does she/did she know of your dressing later in life?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
No Veronica- My Mom is still with us, but it has never been discussed, and to my knowledge she has absolutely no idea about Rita. Have often thought about bringing it up; but have also just as quickly dismissed the idea, thinking it could cause more hurt to HER. After all, I've accepted who I am now, MY pain is in the past- seems as though it would be vindictive of me to go that route.
ReineD-Thank you for your compassionate words on this subject.
