6. Thanks Peggy. Unfortunately it's harder for me...

It's harder for me to get away. I've been diagnosed by my psychiatrist with an enmeshed personality with my father. Basically this means we depend on each other emotionally far too much, we copy each other, we have the same worries and anxieties, we get depressed together. It's an unhealthy relationship, I never really developed on my own enough. My relationship with my mother is different but there are a dependencies there as well. I really really need to build up my own personality and character and become independent but it's difficult because of these unhealthy emotional dependencies.

Thanks though it IS eye opening to have these bad trips.
