"Does this sound like someone you know?

*Always needs to be right  *Tells you who you are and what you think  *Implies that you're wrong or inadequate when you don't agree  *Is threatened by people who are "different"  *Feels attacked when questioned  *Doesn't seem to really hear or see you"

From Controlling People by Patricia Evans

"Good relationships preserve each person's dignity, choice, freedom and equality as a person."

From Boundaries in Interpersonal Communication by Henry Cloud, p. 63 ( I think that's the name of the book)
