What a tremendous burden for youngsters. I was named after one of my father?s sisters (middle name Mila). Somehow I was given that information. Probably by my mother. She had maybe once said that my father didn?t want to talk about it. Both his sisters and their families died in the Holocaust. He had gotten out before the war. I think this translated into his exaggerated overprotectiveness of me. Avrim, I think you bring up a good point about math being safe. Accessing the verbal or emotional is another story. betty
