Clearly all my brain cells from that era are crossing wires.Roger Leishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094800550572325574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973016056573614.post-15127628271741022102017-09-10T18:19:08.138-07:002017-09-10T18:19:08.138-07:00Seeing the images of your kids faces, it is obviou...Seeing the images of your kids faces, it is obvious you are great father.<br /><br />I understand what you mean by the ties of circumstance and emotion. My eldest son has severe emotional problems whose public-school-diagnosis of ADHD barely scratches the surface. Gradually over time, yet all at once, we find ourselves facing a conflict between risk and love. At once there is the risk of impulsive actions by my son that could lead him to hurt himself or his siblings. At the same time, he, and the rest of the family, have even more need for love, security and continuity.<br /><br />p.s. I hate to be an editor, but I think you've combined Catch-22 and Slaughterhouse-5. Vonnegut's novel is centered on the Dresden bombing. Catch-22 is located in the Mediterranean.
