Which is precisely one of the reasons I put this thread together. Maybe if I make this baggage public it will help me finally 'exorcise' it.
BTW, can starting this process trigger weird 'acausal' outbursts? Mom just jumped on me a bit for not having cleaned some ears of corn, as she said she's asked me to do. But I honestly have no such recollection. Anyway, I pointed out to her that she was stressing, and she explained it was because she goes to all the trouble of cooking for me and Dad, and we don't lift a finger to help etc. I explained to her that I honestly never heard her ask me to clean it, only if I had a knife handy downstairs, and informing me that Dad would be the one cleaning it. As we cleaned the corn together, I pointedly assured her that I would never, ever deliberately do anything to hurt her. I further told her that she simply does not need to feel as if she must cook for us, and that indeed I'd be just as happy if she didn't, as it would free me to do more of the veg-heavy dishes I intend to eat (the last time I was fully in charge of my eating habits I lost 30 pounds!).
Whew!
