I've been kicking this around in my head, and it may just be a semantic over-distinction .... but isn't there a world of difference between *feeling* weak and *being* weak?
Feeling weak can lead you to acting repeatedly in ways that manifest themselves as being weak.
Good thoughts BTW on the rest of your post. I do see how when I feel weak, I do tend to sometimes respond in self-destructive ways in order to maintain a facade of strength.

Chrome, don't doubt or second-guess your own priorities as compared to your FIL's. Self-doubt leads to defensiveness which leads to anger which leads to the dark side ... whoops.. Seriously, though ... your confidence in your decisions will lend you calm.
Second guessing is in my nature, I'm a scientist remember ... LOL. I hear what you are saying to me, and I see the pattern you describe in my own feelings.
