Hi Erin,

I too have a “list.” I’ve been posting them on my blog little by little because I think identifying them provides a way to cope w/ at least some of them. I don’t have a “Matthew” but I do have parents who live down the road from me—I live on part of their 97 acres and very much is demanded of me because of this. But, I also discovered (by identifying how it pisses me off) that I WANT to be here because in many ways they need me. I’m the only child and who else would be here for them? It helps me cope w/ so many things they do, EXCEPT for demanding absolute perfection 24/7. I’m also adopted, and I know full well I didn’t turn out the way they wished.

Thumper~
