I was in therapy today, and my counselor had brought up Sally. A bit shocking, she normally doesn't. But, she had a theory... it's one that I've thought of in the past, but she had done a lot more "math" than what I have in the past.
I live with very controlling parents, specifically my mom.. Every day I feel trapped within my own home, and never feel free. My therapist is thinking that I may be using my CDing as a way to free myself from the control. You can even see how much my family influences me in my story "Locked in the Heart".
Now, I'm not quite sure of myself.. I feel like I just had a huge part of me questioned. I've always thought of Sally as another part of me that I embraced on my own, not out of a need for personal freedom from my parents' hell. I mean, I started my CDing life by questioning what it would have been like growing up as a girl, rather than a boy; however, I feel Sally is an extension of my own feelings, rather than a separate person.. I feel so mixed up, and I would hate to think that this huge part of me was just built upon my need to be freed from my parents.. I would hate to know that everytime I dress, it's because of the controlling past of my parents...
Any help, suggestions, advice? Thanks.
