Maybe I didn't write it quite right. He didn't say he was trying to please Mommy. He said he would sit and think of ways to make me happy and nothing ever worked. I think I associated that with ME trying to please my own mother. And that's one of the things that came up last night.
I feel like a failure for not being able to fix this. Which brings up feelings of never being able to do anything right according to my mother. Like I said last night was a long night.
I do think there may be some of what you're saying going on. I'll have read your post again and think about it some more.
