I can relate to this, esp about watching a tv show that is out of the ordinary. For me, i was watching Touched by an Angel.
But more to the point, my mother's and brother's comments about who i dated when i was in high school and college 1. Really steered me wrong and 2. Did not respect or show any understanding of who i really was or what i wanted in my life. So i am now working on that on myself (and not letting them lead me astray anymore.).
Not so much a matter of right or wrong, but what SUITS you.
