Dear Talia:

Because heterosexual men are interested in you being a woman and you are interested in men, the most intense experiences you have are with men.

Because your experience with your mother was more troubling to you than your experience with your father, it is your experience with her that is causing the most trouble in your relationships with men. It is not an issue of gender.

Let me know if I made my point here clearly. I will be back to the computer in about sixteen hours and will be glad to continue our communication then.
