“As a Gen-Xer I had gotten used to abuse. That had to change. As I walked around, I rearranged my life and formulated a secret battle plan. Setting boundaries would upset those who benefited from me not having those. I had to develop what I wanted my future to be. To dream. Then only allow those who shared that vision into my life. This plan was one of the best things I ever did for myself.”

“I'm not knocking choices, just saying that having so many of them with so little support has led to a great deal of shame. Being a full and equal partner both at work and at home, having a rich social life, contributing to society, staying in shape - doing all that is exponentially harder than doing any one thing. We asked for more, and did we ever get it. I firmly believe it's fairer. Easier? No.”
