Our brains are funny funny things.
When I selected the posting name Madeline it was because I liked the character Madeline in the movie "interview with the vampire".
Madeline elects to become a vampire (and ensures her own death) so that she may become a permament mother to a child that will not die.
And yet, Madeline (the cartoon character) IS a child that lives her days in an orphanage without the love of a mother.
Hmmm, was I inadvertently (but of course on purpose) revealing the two conflicting sides of me? The mother and saviour of a lost child, AND the lost child itself?
I wonder what Freud would have to say about THAT!
Great thread.
