Got that covered.  While I think this rebellion thing may be something of
concern, my theory is actually that the fundamental personal foundation is
there to be returned to.  There is _going_ to be that period of separation
and boundary testing that I don't necessarily want to know what it is we're
doing (lord knows my Dad is clueless about my adventures), but after the
experimentation is concluded we are who we are.  And I really like who she
is and have every confidence that will continue to be the case.  So, I'm
actually not worried about it, not that I expect it to be fun while living
it, but do plan on enjoying the adult that emerges on the other side.
