chaotic13--I'm sure I was in part the reason I got that label! But, my husband last night said I'm turning into my mother. Long ago I had promised to do everything opposite of how my mother did it. As a result I am very passive and my kids are kinda spoiled (ask mom, she'll say yes). Anyway, every time I try to be assertive, set boundaries, etc, it triggers me because I feel like I'm being like my mother--and that scares me.
Yeah, I have a lot to work on with my therapist.
Thanks and take care!
