I've been following these posts and thinking of the Lewis Carol classic "Through the Looking Glass". I don't even remember the whole story, but everything was backwards and there was the red queen who was controlling everything and screaming "off with their heads!" And it just so reminded me of the family. Everything so askew. Like when you said that the family leadership were weak people (or something like that), when we as followers were always told that our gut feeling, or conscience, was evil and if we listened or entertained it, we were weak, and then "off with their heads". Needless to say, I am in no financial or other shape to be of use to the family, so I feel very safe regarding being used!! But I do understand being on that big chess board and jumping all the wrong ways, told it was all the right ways and always waiting for the axe to fall! I left a burn-out. But I am out. I hope that others in the family can read these posts and maybe later, let their guard down and let it seep in. Thanks for this Acheick, Miguel!
