Marian, I loved reading this! It brought up similar memories and experiences, including the ever-crying baby and the Birkbeck evening classes. Sound advice to follow what your parental instinct tells you not what the "professionals" do. I believe my own eating problems have their root in my mother's following 'guidelines' for feeding on schedule rather than on demand. Thank you for writing this!
I finally got the chance to sit and read and this did not disappoint. As always, beautiful writing Marian. I cried along with your words and was filled with gratitude for you as a good friend to your friend and for the professor and the neighbours that were good to you. Lots of love xx

This went straight to my heart. Loved the humour and candour and compassion. Wish Id found that Osteopath 22 year ago. It would have been worth the trip to England!!!!
What a beautiful piece, Marian. Thank you! I felt like I was there with you and then I got goosebumps when you mentioned Cranio Osteopathy. I used to work in an alternative health clinic that offered it...one of the most subtle yet profound therapies that exists I believe. Happy birthday to your son! :)

This is really beautiful, Marian. The image of that professor rocking the pram with his foot will stay with me today as I swim in the lake. I often think I give too much advice too freely! Thanks for this terrific post. X
Love your Sub heading Marian. Beautiful writing. I cried too, listening. Ignited my mother's heart. Thank you
Thank you Leone. I really believe in the power of the nudge to shift our fixations

Thank you Susannah. It was so subtle yet it helped. :) I was highly sceptical but willing to try anything. :)
