OMG...how frightening!
I look back on my own parenting sometimes with regret and I never came close to that! And I never came close to that in my own childhood. I am humbled.
Control Freak? I don't think it is such a far throw. You had no control and when you finally did it ran amuck? Do YOU think control is an issue with you? I know it was with me. The very first thing I did was stop telling my family how to dress. Everytime we went somewhere I was trying to force our best face and it was nothing but a fight.
Now I am the only one that looks good
but I am a happier camper!
