Dear Dina:

Your answer does help clarify, gives me more information. You wrote that your family is a double edged sword. I understand you mean that their advice is a bit helpful and a bit harmful, is it? More about my question in my first reply to you: earlier in your life with your family, how safe or unsafe did you feel at home with your mother? Your father? Do you remember feeling afraid often, alone? This will give me more information on the Inside Perspective…in my efforts to be helpful to you.
