Living Life For Others

[Philippa]

One thing I am working on right now is learning how to reach out to others for support. I have never been good at that and the failing and weakness is mine. Now I am healthy and strong enough to do that and I have had some success.

This was so well put gizmo, and it expresses my own sentiments and experience as well. I am getting better at reaching out because I am much stronger now, and feel that I can. Thankyou, this really helped.

When I finally started putting some of my needs first, it was not accepted well. There was actual resentments.

I feel like this has been my experience as well brat17. Although I am not in contact with my parents, I can feel my fathers resentment, that I chose to take care of my needs for a change and not put his first, as they both expect me to be their parent. It's a very difficult process turning that all around, but I believe it's the right action forward.
