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.
