Calie: My mother took DES. Her feeling was always, "if one pill is good, two are better". No doubt in my mind that this has something to do with the way I am.

No, a lifetime of questioning does no good...but I will take the blessings.
Calie, as you may have read in the link, DES was given out as some sort of a vitamin, so indeed you could be right.
And Pat good point and I wonder if my Mom found out about the connection somehow. She always had a very "over the top" (guilt?) reaction to me?
Thanks to all who responded!
