(((( googley ))))) thank you. Actually, he has said things about me getting what I need from myself. So I think he would just be happy that I have the new rule. He thinks it is making me mature on the inside I suppose. But that is what I had to do my whole life anyway. So right now I just see it as another affirmation that others outside me just want me to be independent. My mom was like that... she thought she was doing what was best for me by forcing me to emotionally handle things on my own. So I guess that is what he is doing too. I see them as being the authority so whatever they do and how they do it must be the right way. And since it is coming from different directions and different people throughout my life, I take it as something I just need to learn.
