Lately I find myself more and more like my Mother. I do not like what I see.
Mothers are difficult creatures. I do not think it is unusual to have great expectations. I guess I need to grow up. I know my father was always perfect to me. That contributed a lot to my illness. Probably mostly to the bulimia and perfectionism. I still have problems surrounding him. I can get so hurt by him. I must say in the last few years he has starting being careful what he says to me because he finally not only realized what a dramatic affect his opinions have on me but actually cared.
Well maybe he cared before but he is so tunnel visioned I do not think he could ever conceptualise that I could not change my reactions to him before.
