>Are you generally rigid or a perfectionist?

Yes, both, though many people are surprised to find out. I know I was. It's the school of 'If you can't do it perfectly, why try?'

extent to which their parenting contributed to my mental illness. Of course, I never told them that. It is often easier to afix blame to parents than it is to accept them as being human. Some
can leave a hell of a lot of scars. It can take awhile to accept the scars without blaming, understanding that there is cause-and-effect that cannot be overlooked unless one wishes to remain in denial.

Scott, how did you ever do it? I sometimes ask my pdoc about balancing forgiveness, blame, anger, grief. Blame is an interesting phenomena. Actually, I've not looked up it's etymology. Lately, I'm
examining my need, impulse, tendency, ? to blame. Some therapist's encourage blame, and that maybe quite appropriate
and necessary case by case. I know I stumble on it. Yes, cause and effect. Of
course forgiving them (and God and the world) would include forgiving myself. Ah, perfectionism.

Me neither. Gave me something to think about, though. Then sent along some of my own :)
