Thanks for the nice comment @ziofeda, and for sharing your own experience!

It is pretty amazing how these "incidents" in our lives stay with us for so long... the human psyche can be a very strange place, sometimes. Ultimately, I suppose we choose certain actions as children because they are valid "survival strategies," but then we get stuck — many years down the road — doing the same thing over and over, long after the need for using a particular strategy has "expired."

I'm sorry to hear that your experience resulted in you giving up on drawing, completely.
