They exerted a ton of authority over me and I felt powerless all the time.
I'd like to try to get a better understanding of their behavior... if anyone knows what that's called or if there are any books on it... please let me know, thanks

similar upbringing myself for me and sibs. Don't know why. Always supposed to be perfect and could never go to them re any real problems. Just the way it is. Hard at time, but moved on a long time ago. Found other appropriate people I could talk to, tho frankly, I still loved my folks and appreciated them for their good qualities. Anyway, didn't mean to wander on bout my former situ, but to wish you the best with yours and try to move on and find appropriate folks to confide in, if you can. Blessings!
