oh damn i wish that were true for me. i'm so buttoned up around my parents it's frightening, at least to me. my therapist is shocked that someone generally so forthright turns into a gibbering wreck around her parents as late as 33. the biggest problem for me is that the only time i'm not like that is when i'm really ill, like sectionable, and because all the walls come down then i just let rip. so now, if i speak my mind about anything, no matter how small, my parents ascribe it to me being unwell and i get questions like "are you feeling ok? do you think you're a bit up/down? do you need to change your meds?" - ARGH!
