Answer 1

It is possible because instead of the adult to adult interactions at work, you allowed your insecure and rebellious child to take over. Read, "I am OK you are OK" by Thomas Harris, M.D. for explanations of child, adult and parent ego. First try counselling and follow the professinal advice.
