This woman has an extraordinary talent for the written word. Too bad she wasted her life thumbing her nose at propriety in general and her parents in particular.

Self destructive and a total waste of talent. How sad. By spiting her parents she spited herself.

[grellis]

I couldn't agree with you more.

Of course you are correct. But I think there is a passage in the Bible about a prodigal son that would fit neatly here. She did come back, she did her family good in the last few years and she stood firmly and caringly in support of her mother at an extremely difficult time when she was needed more than any other. I bet that her father would have "slaughtered a fatted calf" and thrown the finest banquet to welcome his prodigal daughter home.

Spite is often jealousy made whole.

So good of you to pass judgement on another....They were more than willing to accept her amends and grant her forgiveness. We can do no less

She cut her nose to spite her face. Would you know if Patti ever married, what year was she born?
