Wow Lea @coruscate how insane it must have been to have your parents praise you for years for being the “perfect child”, only to turn around and attempt to manipulate you into a way of life that you obviously didn’t want and attempt to make you feel bad about it!! The fact that you’re not bitter about those situations with people who were so close to you speaks volumes of your character. The mental programs people create around their parents are the strongest because they are literally the most influential people during our most vulnerable growth. To go through so much adversity as a young person must have made you into the strong, amazing person you are today! 😘
@larrymorrison- you always ask the best questions! It’s a skill that is lost on a lot people, especially men these days!
