Or aware and self-deluded. Repeat an untruth often enough to yourself and it starts to seem true.

"I am not a hothousing mother...I am not a hothousing mother..."

I think it's more of a perspective thing... see CM's irregular verbs (one of my favorite games ever):

I - am an involved parent
YOU - are kinda pushy
THEY - are hothousing to the point of child abuse

That one was a gem. You're right...the deluded hothouser pushes judgment outward, not inward per first person singular.

What is to give light must endure burning.
