Eventually, he let my mom do whatever she wanted to do.
But he was very, very difficult.
Later on, and actually that's part of why I even wrote this new book, Secure, because all of my understanding and everything that I understood about our relationship really shifted.

And I think also somewhat fearful avoidant.
Sort of like a mixture of it.
I have so much more compassion to him now.
And then because of this whole process that I went through in understanding how to look at the world more securely.
And that has helped me so much.
Because, yes, he was difficult.
But I...
was not easy either.
And I was this smart-ass kid who was really highly educated, was reading all these books.
