Interesting - my mother is an alcoholic. Never thought of that as motivation for my perfectionism. Maybe. I do know it is part of my control issues with the environment. Things always felt out of control as a child so now I seek to control what I can. I know this. I'm working on it. I think it's actually okay if done constructively (been doing fly lady) lol The other thing I got my mouth and nastiness from my mother.
