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.
