[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 181019, member: 3444"] Well, she seems happy enough -- but her whole life has been planned and orchestrated by her mom. I once heard her say to someone shortly after she'd earned her blackbelt that she really didn't know what she was supposed to do now. I thought, wow -- was the only reason you engaged in that sport to acheive that specific level? I wonder if she'll be saying that after she gets her law degree! Her mom is VERY involved in every aspect of her life, not so much in a commanding way, but in a VERY influential, almost manipulative way. I don't get the feeling that she has ever been asked what SHE would like to do. And frankly, I don't know that she even sees this. It's just how her life has always been structured. I'm not saying she needs to get a diagnosis, just wondering what would explain her behavior... [/QUOTE]
