Anita,
Thank you for taking the time to try and assist me. I grew up an only child, although I never had a problem sharing toys with other people.

My parents were a bit over protective for my taste, but not to the point that I had to report to either one on serious topics. I’m incredibly close with my mother and I have been my entire life. She’s always been my best friend.

Although my parents have a good marriage, their occasional fights did cause me stress.

Even as a child I was a nurturer and a comforter. If another child fell and my mother went to hug them, instead of getting jealous, I’d go over and hug them as well.

In high school I had some problems with self worth, like all teenage girls. But I made a serious turnaround and started working to better myself. I had made a lot of progress until I met my last boyfriend. At first he seemed different, I didn’t seem to bore of him, in fact, I couldn’t get enough of talking to him. But then something changed in me and I started to resent him and pull away. In response he cheated and we broke up. However we had maintained a relative on and off again friendship. He is the closest thing I think I’ve ever had to feeling like I had a normal relationship, and even then it fell apart after a while.
