An Intimate Portrait of RitaB

Rita grew up in Denver, Colorado, USA. Her parents were very religious, particularly her father who liked to view himself as an old testament patriarch. Rita told me that he was very strict and insisted his children conform to rigid rules of behavior. He was very aloof and domineering and severely punished his children for any minor infractions of his rules. Rita believes that this attitude caused her to fear her father and consequently all males. When she was a child, this anxiety about men was almost a phobia.
