Mouse, I hope you won't walk away from here. I learn a lot from your posts and feel you belong.

Yes, you don't have to be what your parents were! This has been a big motivator for me in how I raised my children. For example, my mother never once told me she loved me. With my own kids, I have made sure I tell them frequently that I love them and that my actions are in synch with that. These behaviors of mine stem directly from the opposite behavior of my mother. Let this be a motivator for you on how not to be. Use it!
