I am sure you haven't written a check , but to say "I don't even know what they are supposed to do." , come on 
I think I see in you my eldest child, that is why this is so bothersome to me. I believe you see your mother in me, with my aggressive ways. So perhaps we are at an impasse. But for what it's worth and regardless of what anyone else may say about me and the things I have posted on your thread, know this. I have never posted anything to intentionally hurt you. My intentions have always been to help you and I do wish the best for you. |
I do own it and I do attempt to change it. I also have a right to throw out advice that I don't feel ready to take.
I know what a check does. People have written me checks. I don't know what a checkbook does.
I have a difficult time identifying "mother-like" behavior. My mom did things to me that I never thought of as "mother-like" and I instead identified as "assault". But thank you for the clarification.
