There are people in life who somehow have a way of controlling others in their lives. Most often the one who is being controlled has no idea that it is happening. She feels like she is just being 'the good wife' or he feels like his role as 'the good son' is justified, but are they?
I am realizing that I have let someone control me in small subtle ways for way too long. I have allowed my happiness, sadness and sense of worth and self to become so wrapped up in one person. Looking back at it makes me sick.
Even now, as far as I have come, I find myself still being controlled. A letter can cause me so much anger and a Christmas card with a few choice words can cause me to burst in to tears.
This person was supposed to love me and care for me and care about me and there is a part of me that can't quite surrender that control he has over me.
