I've never experienced normal, so I don't know what it is. I do know that criticizing is not only not normal, it is also not loving or cherishing. LJ, EW, I feel exactly like you both... I often wonder how happy is happy, how normal is normal, but all I can come up with is love is what is, and if not that, then what? And what if there was love for a time, and that time ran out? Or if love changes form? I think normal would be lifting each other up instead of putting each other down, complimenting not criticizing, supporting not sabatoging.
