Didn't I tell you the same about a week or two before? I think you were sort of emotionally abused.
My new therapist calls my father's behavior the same... sort of emotional abuse. Not sexual abuse, but she says the effect is kind of similar.
She actually says that she thinks it is pretty amazing that I grew up so well. She thinks I did a pretty good job with myself.
And as far as you liking the power - what other choice did you have? either you dislike it - like me and keep silent. or you grow to like it. I think it is just a coping mechanism you had, and nothing really bad about you.
