Crook and Flail as the cause of the problem

Crook and Flail as the cause of the problem: In ancient Egyptian times, the Crook and Flail were emblems of the Pharaoh’s authority and a hint of that energy is retained by this card. It carries the same implication wherever it appears – from the smallest private social group to the largest corporation. This card talks about leadership, authority and the self-discipline required to achieve both of them.
If the Crook and Flail card appears in this position in your reading, usually it can refer to the exhaustion of that self-discipline, the avoidance of which leads to hedonism. 
And it can also talk about the misuse of authority – the abuse of which leads to domination and bossiness.
Is there someone in your life (about whom you asked this question) who is abusing their power? Do they have a trusted position that they are using to manipulate others? Have they completely lost the plot when it comes to self-discipline? Or have they simply bowed out of any pretence at cooperation with others?
Given that its appearance can also refer to worldly status, is there something about the way you assume other people see you that is bothering you?
