My mother did all she could to control me, but at age 14 she sent me to a military school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother gave me a push. If I hadn't had her, maybe I wouldn't have had the push. If I hadn't gone to military school, maybe I wouldn't have decided to get with the program. Maybe I'd be running a bulldozer, rather than going on and doing something more.
Dad was in the British Army and my mom was in the Royal Air Force, so both of my parents believed in discipline.
I'm a military kid, both parents in the military - Mom did 12 years, Dad did 21, served in two wars. So discipline is something that was huge.
My mom was very strict when I was growing up. I could not talk to boys until I was 18. I had to study and work hard.
My parents made me believe I could do anything I wanted to do. They were really into empowering me.
My mom says I either have to go to college or go into the military.
My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.
I was one of those daughters who saw my mother as my enemy when I was a teen.
My mom raised me to never have anything control me.
My mother felt it was time that I had some parental control, so I went off to America and went to New York.
