Now I'm not saying she was wrong. When I attracted someone who was actually the kingpin and way too dangerous (leave it to me, I was too good at the game, always went straight to the top), she told him to never call me again and wouldn't let me date him. Good move, Mom, he was brutally murdered. She only wanted me to find a nice husband. Which I did.

But I feel like I was groomed and pimped. It's my own short comings of lack of sense of self that allowed that to happen. Plus it made sense to find security instead of being single and struggling. But my true self is a creative person within the performing arts world. The play's the thing!
