RESPONSIBILITY:

~

We may have been told that we made our mother or father
miserable, leading directly to the idea that we were also
responsible for making them happy. The idea that we are
responsible for our parents' happiness or misery can instill
exaggerated feelings of power and guilt in us.

We do not have this kind of power over our parents – over their
feelings, or over the course of their lives. We do not have to allow
them to have this kind of power over us. They may be our parents,
but their beliefs and behaviors are not always healthy and in our
best interest.

We are free to examine and choose our beliefs.

Let go of guilt. Let go of excessive and inappropriate feelings of
responsibility toward parents and other family members.
