I totally blame my parents. Because they wanted a clone of themselves and didn't get it. And they refused to acknowledge I was/am my own person.

In their defense, though, they are just a product of their parents and the upbringing they had. For good or bad.

Nature/nurture. I know also there are wonderful parts of me that i inherited (genetically) from my relatives that although my mother considered a "weakness" and should be "erased/stamped out"...I am who I am, like it or not.

So now I am in T.
