The Film That Reminds Me of My Past: Ella Enchanted

I’ve only seen this movie once, and it was pretty forgettable, except I could not forget it. 

The premise kept me up nights and revealed to me that I possessed the same cursed gift. (Ella, in the film is given at birth the "gift of obedience", which turns out to actually be a curse)  How did I get to be this person? Understandably, being a mother is a slippery slope of perpetual acquiescence, but I had somehow been reprogrammed and became the Accommodator! 

So I decided to reverse engineer this creation and find out how it had gone so wrong. I picked my battles carefully and re-positioned my boundaries until I was Ella no more and had morphed into Norma Rae
