Mom: Etc. For years I hovered over my daughter, orchestrating every moment of her life. Then I learned that hovering robs children of decision-making skills and the wisdom that can only come from making one's own mistakes. Now I no longer hover. Cathy out of frame: MOM! Mom: Now I merely open my arms and leap right down into the deep end with her!! Once I was a "helicopter parent". Now I'm an "inner tube parent".
Don’t I recall something about Cathy’s life pre-Irving, or at least during months when Irving was simply not in the picture, and Cathy was a neurotic and insecure single?
Besides Irving and a meaningless parade of male, um, bodies, what were her choices anyway? She and Irving understand each other and they’re not kidding when they share companionship and express love. That’s actually pretty hard to beat.
