Thanks, Muffy!
When I post things like that, I usually regret it! But, yes, even today, while taking a nap, I woke up with a start, not with the memory of a mistake, but of myself just out of college, having to return to my home in the coalfields, struggling at what I was going to do. Doesn't sound so tragic, I guess, but it is how I've evolved to where I am today, with choices made by other people.
Now I'm independent, but still struggle with it, probably from past conditioning.
