OURSELVES:



It's healthy, wise, and loving to be
considerate and responsive to the feelings
and needs of others. That's different from
caretaking. Caretaking is a self-defeating
and, certainly, a relationship-defeating
behavior.

Some people seem to invite emotional
caretaking. We can learn to refuse the
invitation. We can be concerned; we can
be loving, when possible; but we can
place value on our own needs and
feelings too.

Be patient and gentle with yourself as you
learn to do this. Be understanding with
yourself when you slip back into the old
behavior of emotional caretaking and
self-neglect.

But stop the cycle today. We do not have
to feel responsible for others. We do not
have to feel guilty about not feeling
responsible for others.
