[quote=Anonymous]OP again: These are some really good points, especially about the fine line between creativity at that level and being actually mentally disturbed.  I will have to remember that.  I think for me, personally, the issue is that when I was young, our family was involved in trying to help the children in this person's family, and I guess I still must feel a bit of a grudge against the artist for the disruption that caused in my family.  But as an adult I can try and see that maybe it could have been mentally impossible for this person to raise functional children.  Of course that brings in the topic of how much control we have over our own minds; are there some people who are mentally unable to make good choices or are there just degrees of selfishness?  Can't answer that one, but I am going to try and read the book objectively.  I don't think I'll share my information with anyone in the group since I know I wouldn't want anything to interfere with my enjoyment of a good book.  Thanks everyone.  [/quote]
