Step One Question Five
5. Make a list of people who you let control you. Again, give an example or two next to each one. For example, “Bill – I go anywhere he wants to go and see movies he wants me to see even when I’m not interested in them.”
*EXAMPLE CONTINUED*
L (I let control most everything about me)
M (bought clothes he likes)
D (told me not to work with a music guy I wanted to collaborate with)
K (I changed the song we were writing together although I disagreed)
Bio Dad Steve (etiquette, required a certain way of behaving around him which I complied with)
Grandma R (personality- wanted me to be a certain person around her and I complied)
X-boyfriend C (everything I did was given an opinion which I immediately listened to)
X-boyfriend E (controlled who I was and I let him)
X-boyfriend JV (I altered my demeanor so I would be a better girlfriend for him)
