Dear  Andrea:

I did not  remember that you  posted here  before, I clicked  on your user  name and  got a record  of  your prior posts and threads, you can do the same and read your  own thread of five years ago.

My post to you today includes quotes from that thread and your current thread. Before  posting to me again on this thread, if you will, why don’t you read that older thread first.

You wrote that  you are  a changed person, in  some  ways you have changed, got into theater,  for one. But the  neuropathways formed in our childhood don’t change because time goes  by, and  so I rely on childhood experience to be a  most significant factor in our lives  as adults.

I understand that you live  with your father, correct?

Regarding the last  paragraph of  the prior  post, before I elaborate, I  will check first: do  you consider your father “mature…  ‘cooler’, older.. smart… (one) who would  take control”?
