You are to be commended that you got beyond your family. Non-nurturing mothers are really not mothers, but have such devastating impact on our lives. On the other hand perhaps we would not have been such ac hievers if we were not driven? I don't know for sure, but suspect I was pursuing a better life than I had.

Wow. So disgusting. My "mother" is a horrible, nasty, narcissistic sociopath, who did everything in her power to intimidate, abuse, and frighten us to the point that I still try to train myself to wake up in the morning without fear and anxiety. I have abused drugs, alcohol, food, and just about anything else that I thought might fill the gaping void in my soul because of her hurtful and hateful behaviour. It's so embarrassing at this time of year, especially, when others are talking about spending the holidays with their families--or even when people begin to reminisce about memories of their mother's cooking or beauty routine or ...anything, really. I have no memory of anything except physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. Additionally, I'm an overachiever, but I suffer from so much nervousness, anxiety, and fear of failure that everything just seems twice as hard. I've achieved a lot, and I'm glad that I followed through on my dreams, but it doesn't matter to anyone because success and learning are not valued by my "family."
