Of course, I really hated the sort of help I got so I went back to being good again and everyone was happy.
Sounds like a classic example of how we learn to act the way we do. I think I was always the good girl. 'cept when I was about two. I threw tantrums then. A lost skill... :)> It meant so much for my therapist to tell me that he would believe me just because I told him so.
That is really a special thing to hear, I'll bet.
