Thanks for pulling this out of the long - but very interesting - article. I cannot remember my childhood well, but predictably unresponsive and invasive and controlling really ring a bell, considering the problems I'm working on right now.

"To be authentic is sensed as dangerous." This fits me to a T (no pun intended!!!!) And I've never heard or thought of it before. I think I'll go back and reread the article. Thanks again! This is definitely interesting stuff.
