Tenet Nosce - I chose Ruth as my username because it is part of my name - my middle name - and was also my Mother's name, and my Grandmother's name. Fitting, don't you think?
As for my Dad responding to my love and light - I finally realized, as I said, that he is not a "negative entity" rather a person, another individual just like me, doing the best he can, and that a big part of the problem with our relationship was ME not him! When I changed myself, the relationship changed. It didn't happen overnight, and we are both still working on it. I now realize that he is really a very loving guy, with his own wisdom to share. But he's learning, too.
I've also been working on my intro for the intro thread. I balk at giving myself a label - Wanderer, whatever. I'm just me.
About choosing to be born here - when I was younger and would lash out with the inevitable "I wish I'd never been born." or "I didn't ask to be born" my Dad would tell me, "Well, you sure swam like heck to get here!"
