((((Silver)))) I just want to say that my thoughts are with you. I understand growing up with high expectations from parents (sometimes too high). It leads to perfectionism that I am struggling with all the time. I am afraid of disappointing everyone.
I just want to thank you for all of your support for me and let you know that I am trying to support you in kind. You are such a great person, and you don't need to apologize for being you to anyone. We all make mistakes, all the time, and no one is perfect (something your father and my mother need to learn!)

HUGS to you!
