HELPFUL TIP:

Emotional wounds will steer a character's behavior, corrupt his worldview, and cause negative traits to form. To understand exactly how this occurs, please read our tutorial for the Wound Thesaurus.

NOTE: We realize that sometimes a wound we profile may have personal meaning, stirring up the past for some of our readers. It is not our intent to create emotional turmoil. Please know that we research each wounding topic carefully to treat it with the utmost respect.

If one got good grades
As long as one's actions met approval
When one behaved as expected
When one gained accolades and awards for performances
As long as one kept everything organized and clean
If one fit the mold provided
If one did as one was told
When choices and decisions aligned with parental wishes
When one's personal identity and core beliefs coincided with the parents' (religious ideas, sexual orientation, gender, etc.)
When one's physical appearance and bearing met a parent's high standards
As long as family always came first
Provided one didn't cause embarrassment
When one had control over one's emotions
When one showed the correct level of respect and appreciation
