Re: Sad for your shame
by bajacalla

I began playing D&D in 1980, as a 30-something newly divorced mom with a very sad & angry 10-year-old gifted son. I still play my (now) 12th level fighting cleric with him, his friends, and other family members. D&D gave us a bond, an outlet, and the opportunity to transform our scary emotions into something positive and ennobling. I'm looking forward to introducing my grandchildren to the game - whether it's tabletop or CGI. Gary Gygax's imagination got us through some very emotionally turbulent times, and enriched our lives. if that makes us geeks, then I wear the Geek Gramma badge proudly. Brynna of Gard has another hero to emulate.
