: : Wonder if there are any fives(ladies) with two mothers who find them a hard
: : act to follow because they are so popular. How fives(male or female)deal
: : with being around a lot of twos and threes in their families.

: My mother is 2w3 and I HAVE to withdraw a lot. I feel quilty very often. I have
: given her Enneagram books (Baron&Wagele: "The Enneagram made it easy...") but she
: has read only the pages considering herself. She has no need to read anything about
: me becauce she's my MOTHER and thus "knows" everything about me. She *feels* so!!!
: Unfortunately. I'm working to get things better.

Thanks for your input. Amazing you got your mother to look at the
enneagram books. My mother (2w3) only likes to read gushy novels.
If I understand it (as I was advised by an expert) 2s just don't do deep,
and if you expect it, you will be disappointed. Because she is a 2 and
is really beautiful and has a million friends who adore her ( including
my dad, who has now died) I grew up as a 5 thinking I was supposed to
be a 2. That was kind of tough, can you imagine!
