EEEeeeckk, I think you are right. I always took pride in thinking that living in an abusive home as a child had no impact on me and was proud that I went on to be an attorney, didn't need anyone, etc. etc. Then, something like this happens and I realize that I try to make nice with people like that. The more they act up, the more I try to fix it, fix them, fix all their problems, blah, blah.
