Mothers, more so of that era, are jealous of the freedoms socially & sexually of their children - especially their daughters. I think it breeds much of their bitterness. I don't believe it was Joni's freedom or lust that Mothers were envious of, because I don't think our Mothers (per Catherine) ever bothered to to really explore Joni. But this woman (Joni) was taking their daughters or their sons away from them. And they (the children) were beginning to discover their own freedom and lust - sexuality. Someone else was now that childs idol, someone else was now up on that pedastel. My mother did this with every new thing I brought to her - and still does to this day. She tears it down and dismisses it. They forget that while they were living their chosen life, there was a whole world going on without them. Okay now that I'm really into this analysis of Joni, Mothers and Me or >From the Apron Strings to the Guitar Strings, please let me go on... and on and on ... Susan it's medication time! Bottom line I think our mothers at least Catherine, Nuriel began to feel replaced and Joni was just in their line of fire ... and Dolores hated her shrilling voice!
