Reply #9: I can understand the need to control [View All]

[Liberalynn]

it's like not wanting to fly as a passenger in a plane because you can't be the pilot, and keep your "destiny" in your hands.

Also before I had to go out on disabilty I also took over a lot of projects from others, because I was afraid they wouldn't get done right, and figured it would just be faster to do it myself. I ended up burning out in a very major way and literally broke down. Now I don't trust my own judgement on virtually anything any more.

It's funny because at home it has always been completely different. I have always been the submissive one to my Mom and my sister because their too strongly in control to argue with most of the time. My Mom's favorite saying is "that's not how I would do it," and my sister's is "I'm always right."
