Peebs, what did Mary say about if she was worried about her kids having addictions and/or mental illness when they get older?  I was wondering the same thing this morning.  I read most of the book yesterday right after I bought it.  I also thought it was very respectful to Scott.  I thought it was touching how she described how much she loved him from the day she first met him.  It's kinda sad that things didn't work out but I hope they can remain friends and respect each other for the kids sake.

She said that she does worry about that very much.....but she said she keeps a close eye on the early warning signs because she would be able to hopefully spot then unlke her or Scott's parents knew.

She also said The DeLeos and Eric are great guys and have never gotten big egos or anything, she said Dean and Rob's back and fourth has always been hilarious.

What do you (she) mean about back and forth? Waffling about keeping the band together or breaking up?

Well I started reading this and got about halfway through..I think i am actually going to stop though...
I must admit I was negative about this book from the start, but I believe that I would rather hear these stories and binges from his perspective(if his book ever comes out) than from hers.  It is very well written, and If I wasn't completely biased....lol =)

Back and forth as in comedic interplay, joking back and forth

Anyway ,I'm really interested to read this book...

Btw....I posted on her FB page that I enjoyed the signing/discussion and thanked her for coming to NYC.

She messaged me back thanking me for coming and for my support. That's a lady.

Wow, that was so nice of her.

I've only gotten to the part where she has just met Scott.

Just finished the book, I thought she did a great job in re-telling her story of addiction and recovery.

Anyway I'm glad I went and met her and got my book signed. But here's the funny part, I was so engrossed in reading on the train home I missed my stop, had to get off at the next train station and take a cab back. In the past millon years I have been taking the LIRR into Manhattan that has never happened to me....not even WASTED!! lol

I've slept through, and read through my stop on the Subway(Toronto) many-a-time. I used to read on the way to work and between my stop and the next the train goes above ground so it would be like suddenly a burst of sunlight followed by "Oh shit!" the two stops are fairly close together though.

I wasn't really even giving this book a second look, but with all of your reading and enjoying it, I may have to reconsider.

I'm going to be interviewing Mary Weiland this week for GrungeReport.net.  Anybody have some good questions?  I obviously can't ask all of them because I can't do a 3 hour interview with her, but I'll pick out some good ones!  ;D
