There are often fears of "losing control," while they demonstrate an extreme need to control. Problems such as alcoholism and/or physical and sexual abuse often repeat themselves in the following generation. These people have all experienced loss in their childhood. Their loss is very painful and for this loss to no longer have adverse side effects in adulthood, it needs to be addressed.
