What aspect of your childhood carried over into your grown or growing life life? How has it influenced you? Is it a substantial part of who you are? What do you think it reflects or projects about you?

My answer:
As a child I used to keep everything to myself because I was afraid to upset my mother. Since my father was in the Navy he was often overseas for months at a time. My mother had to juggle her job my baby brother and myself as well as her own person. I wanted to help the household run smoothly because it was just her that kept us all together. I was heistant to bring things up and rock the boat so to speak.

I have a tendency to this now too. I never volunteer personal problems or situations. I never ask for help or confess that I can't handle something on my own. I've gotten very used to not only handling my own dilemnas but rarely even exposing them to other people.
