Sorry for the double post...

I've had some time to think about your comments about your parents, Ariesmars. I may have said this before and maybe I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but this seems so typical: The emotionally "stronger" family members slap a dysfunctional label on the emotionally "weaker" family member and blame him or her for all the family's problems. Focusing their disdain and anger on the labeled family member allows the others to ignore their own problems and pretend they are blameless.

It seems, at least on the basis of all you've posted, you are stuck in one of those situations. I'm very sorry for that, Ariesmars.

I so don't want your family to crush you.
