Sharron, as a fellow only child, although my experiences were never as intense as yours, I always felt that my best was never as good as expected. I shouldn't say it, but now that they have both gone, I feel a tremendous of freedom. |

Sharron, I just feel so sorry that your life has been blighted in these ways by your mother.It sounds like some sort of psychological child abuse, and unfortunately, I'm sure it's pretty common. |

I really do hope it has helped others. Have never seen anything before that would have been of any help or even any clue as to what it was all about.. |

It's not silly Sharron at all, there must still be memories burried in our past thanks to narcissistic mothers etc. |

My Dad used to do that 'trick' with the hot spoon as well Ann. Not sure why, but luckily he didn't do it that often, can't recall if he did it to my brothers as well. I do remember him getting angry if we got the giggles at the teatable, never remembered that before but it just came to me! |

How extraordinary to know that there is somebody else with the same problem with vacuum cleaners. |

My OH has to leave the room as soon as I carry the hoover into the room & it's not even plugged in yet. It's not silly at all, I understand why she does it. She is ok if she is the one doing the hoovering but she is not meant to. |

well as I'm now alone I have no one to criticise me so I am always right!!! I really have no demons as I had a lovely childhood with a loving Mum and Dad - there is one thing that still affects me and it's a bit stupid really but it shows how brainwashing takes place very clearly |

I get annoyed with hubby with his lack of understanding on things his stock phrase is "it didn't affect me that way " or "I don't see it that way" |

Sharron you are far from being silly - so many people have fears/phobias as a result of something that happened in their childhood. |
