That is probably a good way to look at it...for example, my W always liked that I showed concern for her...during the worst part of alien vemon spew mode, she absolutely hated it when I asked if she slept well, "how ya doing", etc., she said I sounded like a parent and she didn't need a parent...lol...do you know someone who has raised rebellious teenagers? Our oldest had gone through that phase right before W slid into mlc, and the mindset, behavior, etc is eerily similar. Read around here, you will see the similarities across sitches...then find some parents with teenagers and let them tell all about it, then it becomes more tolerable...your mileage may vary...
