in re " lot - casting, " ENABLING women = For SELF, I had had ' to divorce ' my own mother 17 October y1992. a full 11 years before her actual, physically deadening to me.

Dr Chesler writes about such OF our o w n mothers, often mothers of daughters born within the 1940s and 1950s and some of the 1960s, in her " Mothers on Trial: the Battle for Children and Custody. "

UPON that 17 October y1992 - early morning I stated to her upon my telephone ... ... upon, right then that previous evening, learning of an unforgiveable grievance which she determinedly had wrought down upon only me, " You ARE, now, D E A D to me. And when you physically DO die, NO ONE ... ... NO ONE needs to ring me up and tell me that. "

I hung up. And NEVER, NEVERMORE, my father already dead and in the ground, interacted in ANY way with her again.
