When I first swallowed the pill, I started to notice areas where I wouldn't stand up for myself as much. Read on here, the books, and saw that there was a gap between how I treat/am treated by my mother and others. Today I don't treat her poorly, but in a much more masculine way I disregard much of what she says and does. She can be inconsistent, where I stick to my guns, etc.

I think I do an alright job today, but this aspect is something that has cropped up over the last couple months. I would like to know what a more healthy framework looks like, not only for my time living here but something I can use for the rest of my life.
