Learning To Be Royalty

“Mothers give sons permission to be a prince but the father must show him how. Fathers give daughters permission to be a princess and mothers must show them how.  Otherwise, both boys and girls will grow up and always see themselves as frogs.” -Eric Berne

What did I learn about being a man or a woman from my parents?  Did those messages work for me then?  Are they working for me now?  Am I willing to parent myself and truly find my inner prince or princess?
