"Reading this while being kicked out of home must be peak hypocrisy.
Incredible book.
“When their children turn out to have their own needs, it can send such parents into a state of intense anxiety. Those who are extremely emotionally immature may then use punishment, threats of abandonment and shaming as trump cards in an attempt to feel in control and bolster their self esteem-at their children’s expense.”" — Jun 17, 2026 01:48PM

“Since I stopped writing, I read more than ever. Other people's words, not my own--my words are gone.”

“I'm convinced that this anxiety running through my life is the tension between what I "should be" and what i am. My anxiety doesn't come from thinking about the future but from wanting to control it. It seems to begin whenever I smuggle into my mind an expectation about how I or others should be. It is the tension between my desire to control the world and the recognition that I can't. "I will be what I will be" - where is the anxiety in that ? Anxiety is the recognition that I might not reach the rung on the opinion ladder I have just set for my self. I fear death most when I am about to exceed what I believe others think of me; then death threatens to cut me off from myself, because "myself" is not yet.”
