Thanks very much littlewing1957! (I hard written 1967, and made you younger, lucky you!! ha! ha!)
I just read once only your comment and am very glad you did it! I will re-read it often because of its wonderful contents.
I want to reply to you. But I am scared. Many or all here have been putting me down because I am now considering Lureen to be a real lesbian!! I think that this subject hurts many females, even the ones on Bettermost; even lesbians, it seems maybe. Some or one lesbian, so far, do NOT understand me when I say Lureen is lesbian!! Wonders of wonders, like Annie's story and the BM movie!!
1- Firstly:
Bobby is NOT a bastard. Lureen was raped, or she raped herself; that is complicated. I just realized that by reading your comment.
2- This (no. 1) might be a reason that Jack's parents were not invited to her wedding!! There are other reasons, or BM movie facts!!
3- Maybe her own parents were not neither invited to her wedding? Wow, you say. And far-fetched?? It is a possibility!! Remains to be proven... maybe. I had facts...about that question, but can not remember; maybe they are in my notes.
More later... you have many puzzles already to ponder (I can not sleep easily since I think often npow about her as lesbian),
and in return, can you find me that essay you mention and post it here to me, please,
hugs!!
