I remember Susan raising her eye brows by a good half inch when during our long conversations in her tree top home in Cahuita the topic of family came up. The power imbalances, the abusive patterns, the codependencies and ambivilant relationships between the members, it took me a while to see it all. Susan was a veteran when I met her and her stories haunt me to this day. But we all get older and we all have stories to share...that is unless we prefer to keep them secret.
