Good read. I am fairly successful in my career, however I noticed I am a high achiever and resulted in anxiety. Always looking for acknowledgement. This due to abusive mother and always yelled and ripped up my assignments because they were never good enough. My mother recently apologized for being abusive. I feel my anxiety and depression disappear and reappear from when I feel belittled. I can hold onto these emotions for days and not handle the comments well. I will reverse the cycle for my daughter and support her at a early age rather than mistreat.
