And the men often go off to leave the women and children to fend for themselves. So the children experience a semi-loving mother for the first few years of life, one who at least feeds them, and then this mother pushes them away, hurts them, or abandons them. <BR/><BR/>I think this was the beginnings of Athanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037246663178726395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11874540.post-63175448279169804912009-02-22T06:50:00.000-07:002009-02-22T06:50:00.000-07:00Mhairead, thanks for adding me to your blog.

So the male gods could only come then as a means of getting food quickly by brutally stealing it from those who weren't starving (like from the Mediterranean cultures, always abound with fish, seafood and wealthy trade?) - sort of like Hitler comingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11874540.post-47882212733489761122009-02-12T04:50:00.000-07:002009-02-12T04:50:00.000-07:00I just discovered your book at amazon UK and I am ...I just discovered your book at amazon UK and I am very excited by it and you..
