ISN'T IT TIME YOU SHED PERFORMANCE-BASED LIVING?When Alas Wright's childhood family collapsed, he took the blame. As a wounded fourth grader, Alan secretly wondered, What's wrong with me? How can I become loveable again? Unconsciously, he made the most devastating--and common--of vows- "I'll do whatever it takes to be loved."
