Do you know anyone with "prison mentality"? how to think for oneself?
I know someone aged 35 who is struggling to think for himself after spending years in prison where he was told what to do and when to do it. At this time he is living with his parents and since he loves and trusts them, he is influenced by their opinions rather than trusting his own instincts. After being out less than a year, he and his girlfriend (who has loved him for 16 years) are pregnant. He is trying to get his life back, attending school and persuing a career and is probably overwhelmed. As a result, he seems to be relying on his parents attitudes and opinions rather than trusting his own instincts and listening to his heart. He is a good man, better than most. Has anyone else had experience with this situation, and do you have any advise?
