yes, but she is a psychiatrist and gives me medication too. she probably thinks I've made some progress by opening up more lately and so decreased my medication (that's how I understood it). I'm skeptical about my illness having to do with genes.I'd caution against trying to "blame" or "excuse" your illness on something your mother did or didn't do.
I don't blame my mother (I do really but not for my illness) but I think it has to do with the way I am and how I perceived and still perceive things and situations which has something to do with my upbringing.
I think it's better to look for solutions and ways to change behavior moving ahead. At least that's what works best for me, when I'm making progress. :)
