Dear natie:

That’s okay. So, as a child, you felt overly responsible for your mother; fast forward, you feel overly responsible for this man. It does not surprise me, because adults (including myself) often keep re-living the same emotional experience of childhood, although in different circumstances.

When you brought a bad grade from school to your mother, and she was sad, did you feel.. like “the devil”, like you did something terrible?
