Is strength a weakness?

So, when do we know that our strengths become our weaknesses?  I am a very strong woman, with a strong personality, but sometimes I feel it gets in my way.  I didn’t start out this way, but through the last nine years, it’s been developing.  I think when you’re a single mom and responsible for everything financial and emotional, you either sink or swim.  Sinking isn’t an option for me, so somewhere along the line, I turned into Michael Phelps (without the bong)!  Do men really want a strong woman, or do they need someone who needs them?  I’ve always taught my daughter to stand on her own feet and don’t depend on a man.  Is that going to be detrimental to her?  I think a woman should always have her own fu money in case she needs it and can support herself and her kids.  But in terms of finding a relationship, am I supposed to be needy?  I know men like to fix things for girls and be the strong one in a relationship, but it’s really hard to let them do that.  I grew up with a dad who was very strong, but who also took things away when he was angry with us.   I guess I’ve learned to get things for myself and not depend on someone so they don’t have the opportunity to take it.  So the question is, at what point does my strength become my weakness?
