Slave is correct, carcard.
When I was growing up, I was told I was "wrong" and "shameful" for so many things. But it boiled down to , 'just because I wasn't like them'. Now, somewhere around mid-life, I've discovered that the problem was with them, not me. Oh, I have faults and quirks and things that make me different and things that that don't work right. And it's not all sunshine and flowers. But I learned along the way that I don't have to depend on THEM to decide if I am acceptable, because their definition was based on me being just like them. And (this is key) it was based on the people whose opinions they thought were important. Turns out those people with the opinions? Don't really matter to me all that much...in fact, I really don't like them so much.
