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.
