I told my t this week that i thought about how he would handle certain chores in my apartment - like he would just get things done! I had a half hour to kill the other morning after breakfast, and i used it to straighten up a shelf, and it felt very t-like. But your post here also made me realize that i am feeling very affectionate towards him. I keep picturing those mother-daughter outfits that were popular in the 1950's - no, my mother wouldnt wear one with me. I remember asking and i remember her reaction / rejection.
All that is to say, yes, maybe this IS a part of our reparenting. But once they teach us to walk our own path for our own good, that path will lead away from them, not circle back to them.
