thank you leslie. the word "inappropriate" helps. i used to ask for lots of things (or try them without asking ) and i guess my parents used to try to stop me from those (e.g. sticking my finger in the wall socket). "inappropriate" is a good word... it feels less scary than "abuse" does, and also stops the blame from sitting on me.
