My sisters are all very different, yet all have a similar streak.

Control.

They all control the people in their lives or their environment.

Do I control?

My children? No. I’m very easy-going with them.

Men. No. They have controlled me.

Housework. No. It always feels out of my control.

I do control myself, and I do feel very controlled by him.

Why would my sisters all externalise the control, and I internalise it?

I’ve always felt different to my sisters. Could it be because I am completely different? 

I realise that despite being controlled, how strong I have been, and that somewhere that strength is still there. If I were to work on it, bit by bit, I could get stronger.
