[QUOTE="keista, post: 448066, member: 11965"] I was going to refrain from posting my opinion, but felt compelled after that 'gossip' post. It is a non traditional Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The man feels the need to control EVERYTHING, especially as it relates to him. It does make sense for him to have developed like this since for a large chunk of his life he was in an orphanage and had NO control over ANYTHING. Sadly he defies my own personal theory of adult children. In their 20's, kids tend to blame all their personal problems on everything their parents did wrong. Moving into their 30's they move past that and see that while it was always right or good, their parents did their best, and to the best of their abilities. I wonder if he's even thought of where he'd be if he had never left the orphanage? Could he still have become successful? Possibly, not necessarily. Could different parents have made him more successful? Possibly, but again not necessarily. Continue your mourning process. (by the way mourning is something we do for ANY loss, not just loss of a life. Many of us too often forget that) I'm glad you are able to be closing up this difficult chapter in your life. [/QUOTE]
