That is amazing and while I am sure it must have been stressful, I kind of love that detail. Holy cow.
It gets better. I'll put the new developments in the new discussion post, since this one is getting out of hand!
he kind of awful thing about Wilhelmine's memoirs is that FW does so much crap that I sometimes don't even remember some of it, because it's overshadowed by the worse crap.
*nod* The food thing jumped at out me specifically, since, as you may remember, I kind of had to report my own parents for food withholding. Not as bad as it sounds like FW was! (For one thing, they didn't spit in our food.) But similar.
And when I finally (very recently) put "Fritz's letter + Wilhelmine's memoirs + Fritz bolting his food as an adult" together, it was another of those "I can't prove causation, but it's a very suspicious correlation" moments.
