2. Domination, control, and shame:
o Do you feel that the person treats you like a child?
o Do they constantly correct or chastise you because your behavior is “inappropriate?”
o Do you feel you must “get permission” before going somewhere or before making even small decisions?
o Do they control your spending?
o Do they treat you as though you are inferior to them?
o Do they make you feel as though they are always right?
o Do they remind you of your shortcomings?
o Do they belittle your accomplishments, your aspirations, your plans or even who you are?
