Hi, here's another paragraph on the topic. Karen was my counselor.***Karen remarked, “You’re becoming more aware of patterns that pertained to your husband and family. It’s not unusual to do things as we saw them done.”
“Oh, I get it,” I responded. “Todd was the perfect pick for perpetuating passivity.”***

What I am heartened about on this thread is that there are many of you who had GOOD relationships with your fathers. I'm glad to hear of these! Okay, off with my head now, I already had my chance as featured author. But this thread obviously struck a chord with me! LLL
