Much gratitude for your courageous sharing. Men are certainly indoctrinated into never expressing fear, but of course, calamitous childhood experiences cannot be overcome and their events cured if we cannot bear to look at the source of our angst.

The fact that all the religions of he world indoctrinate children to 'love and honour' parents, and our physiology sets us up naturally to bond with them, all does not help to see them in a clear light.

Thank you again for your honest reflections.
