SELF-CARE:

Many of us have been deprived of support and nurturing for so long
we may not realize it's something we want and need.

We may not reach out to have our needs met. We may be in
relationships with people who cannot or will not be available to
meet our needs. Or we may be in relationships with people who
would be happy to respond to a direct request from us.

We may have to give up something to do this. We may have to let
go of our martyr or victim role. If we ask for what we want and
need, and get those needs met, we will not be able to punish people,
or push them away later on, for disappointing us.

We may have to let go of our fears enough to experience the
intimacy that will occur when we allow someone to love and
support us. We may even have to learn, one day at a time, how to
be happy and content.
