Chapter 7: Scott’s Turn: A Process Check | My Southern Gothic Life

New Post on my new blog, MySouthernGothicLife.com:

I’ve pulled this new blog together rather quickly.

I think the fact that I don’t have to worry anymore about my Mother’s thoughts  and opinions has somehow freed me.  I also admit, I’m using this to deal with her current situation.

Now I feel I can tell my own story on my own terms.

I will fully admit that I waited almost 50 years to do this and am only being this open about all this now that I know that she longer knows or cares what I might say.

As I was raised to do, I have kept up appearances for almost 52 years.

But still, I’m feeling a little like Christina Crawford writing “Mommie Dearest”.  Or Grace Metalious writing “Peyton Place.”

Neither was my intent.
