Perhaps the metaphor of a wire monkey has been overdone since psychologist Harry F. Harlow studied the effects of maternal deprivation on rhesus monkeys back in the 1950s. However, it is still the best analogy I can think of to explain how inadequate attention to children in their formative years results in long-term, negative psychological effects.
Under this premise, this blog is for those interested in examining the insanities of life from the perspective of one who sees the world with eyes that have been formed by wire monkeys. Whether the “hollow person” that has influenced you has been a mother, father, grandparent, sibling, friend, or lover, we all have our wire monkeys–those ill-defined people who take much more than they give.

Hi. I have never replied to a blog before, so tell me if I am not following protocol.
Serena, Thank you for excellent threads like yours, about the webcam suicide. Your thread seemed like an entirely different website, an oasis. How did you do that? All that love and care pouring in, it was what I imagined a women’s website to be, but YOU accomplished it.
Thank you Serena for restoring my faith in women and how we can support each other.
Have a great day
