    imagine growing up with the fear of wondering whether you'll end up being just like him. no fun.

I imagine that this is true for most people, whether or not their parents affected them negatively. People like to bag on ego, but quite honestly, a healthy dose of ego is necessary for success. If you don't believe in you when no one else does, then you're not believing in. Or at least, that's what I think.
