[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 198827, member: 3907"] Heather, reading this just broke my heart. It sounds to me like your mother sees any illness or weakness on your part as a failing in her. By pressuring you to be perfect, then she can bask in the reflected glory of being such a good mom that she raised a perfect daughter. It's hard when your mom won't let you just be human, with all the good, bad and just neutral qualities that entails. I'm so happy that you've come to understand that you need approval only from yourself. Don't let her or any of them get you down. You're right that it's a reflection on them, not on you. Pouring energy into trying to win the approval of those people is casting your pearls before swine. If they are incapable of seeing you for the wonderful person you are, then there's something wrong with their eyes. Trinity [/QUOTE]
