I was thinking about this as well. I am defined by those I love. I am honored to be associated with them. When I walk into a PTO meeting I am ___'s mom, not Lilith the demon bitch / student/ all the other things I am.....and that feels good to me. I think like it or not we are defined by the people we love and associate with. The problem arrises when you no longer have any self worth/ individual identity, when all that you are is tied up in your relationship with others.
