 Maybe, maybe not. I'm open to the idea, but I'm not sure it's true.

 I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

 Dave attempts to control people by hurting their feelings, which is evil. If you think this a good way to "keep people in line", then you need help.
I don't mean to be argumentative, though. I'm open to any suggestion of change. That's why I voice my frustrations in the first place. I think that I have to figure myself out if I'm going to be a good parent. Is the anger I hold for the things my mom did valid, or am I just misunderstanding her difficult position? I think this is really important for me to figure out.
