Most of my life I have felt pushed and pulled. My father pushed me into school, sports, and so forth, andover the years my resentment grew for him, as he was always directing and controlling my life and beatingme when I challenged his authority. My mother always gave me warm, unconditional love and tried topull me under her protective wing, which is something I have always resisted.My parents divorced when I was 16, and without parental control, I began a life of permissiveness in myrelationships with women and in my use of psychedelic drugs and marijuana. Aftergraduating from college, I rejected my father's wishes to pursue a career and returned to school to seekanother degree. In some ways, it's just a place to be that I like. Most of my life revolves around living fortoday, a hedonistic style that has no concreteness of goals and aspirations, with a lack of definition of `whata man should be.'I float in and out of people's lives. They see an image of me as a despoiler of women, a drug freak, and acold shell. My fear is that I am nothing more than that image, that I am empty inside. I want to be able toopen up and let people see the warmer, more sensitive sides of me, but I have terrible difficulty doing that. Ihave a strong need to become close and intimate with others, yet I never let myself become vulnerable becauseI fear being dependent on them and trapped by their love."
