I'm mostly ok with the memory. I even understand that whichever parent (my mother probably) it was meant well by it. I'm sure the intent was to force me to recognize that I didn't really want to die. I think even through the shame and rage of the moment, I recognized that the intent wasn't malevolent. That doesn't really change the outcome, unfortunately. I'm left with some less than desirable tendencies from it. I guess though that I'm making progress in that I see why I do what I do, and I recognize on some level that the behaviors are no longer necessary. Now I just need to take the final step, and interrupt the behaviors.
