NotTrue

I grew up with an overprotective mum. I excelled in school, I am now valued at work, I have provided for myself and built up my savings to be able to take holidays and buy a home. And at the same time I have learnt to work with my mum and her over-protectiveness because for all her flaws she is a good mum and I chose to see the good in her. There is a big difference between being a victim of circumstances who is too lazy to do anything about it as opposed to someone who is capable of seeing the gift that is their life and doing something about it.
