Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 fiona, i think its great that you are looking at yourself and doing something about it! I too had a very overprotective mother and have felt most of my life like i couldnt do anything for myself, like i had to have someone else do it for me. with my first husband i let him do everything i was like a little child. i married when i was 22 but was a very immature 22. Looking back i cant believe that was me. i have grown a lot since then. I have had to learn to do things on my own and have found that i am capable. I used to have anxiety attacks when i was learning to think for myself and do things for myself. i no longer have them as i learned what was causing them. it was just a fear of being my own person. Once i learned that it was ok and nothing bad would happen if i asserted myself. Hang in there you will be fine. enjoy the time by yourself!
