Today I finally made some progress talking to my mother. We were interupted by a friend showing up at our table in the donut shop, but we will continue on Wednesday. I've been telling her a lot of stuff that she didn't know happened and I am getting some insight from her view point. She didn't like any of the women I had married but didn't interfere with my decisions. Anyway, it was a rough ride on the rollercoaster so far. We talked about my speech problem and being an outcast everywhere I went. And my joining the military and so forth. Hopefully, the rest will come ouot tomorrow. I do have a letter to give her to read.
