The positive responses to your work on yourself, in the form of "thank you" and ILY is really good.
What you are doing, IS working. Keep doing more of that.
Also, it is very possible that people who are raised by over bearing parents can have control issues crop up in their lives. It could have to do with children unable to create appropriate boundaries. Perhaps that is something for you to think about.
How can you work on the controlling issue? Is there possible boundary issues in your life?
