~[My daughter is] very artistic, but she's also a perfectionist. I feel a little bad: That's the part I see in her that's like me - and you don't want them to have that at age 5. ~

And when we think we have recovered and forgotten, it is then that the terrible after-effects have to be encountered at their worst.
