...yet that is the message i feel i got from my father while i was growing up!!! he probably would argue that all he wanted was the best for me and that i would make the "right" choices. and my mother, who is totally non-confrontational, was always very busy with the other three children and with the constant adaptations which life imposed on her. plus i don't think she had a clue what i was all about. in both cases, i believe it must have been very hard for both my parents to have to deal with me.excessive demands.
no fun.
as a result, i am a people-pleaser, although never insincere. ..."nice"...
i may also have developed a kind of a "parallel" life - nothing serious - but a place a go, where i can just "be".
deal with it!
