i'm pretty upset right now. things go so well when you're not in therapy. the denial just puts you on auto-pilot and there's not a care in the world. this past week has been a really busy one leaving me with no time to journal, but needing to journal badly. last monday at therapy, i had some great breakthroughs, but i left feeling extremely

your #1 responsibility is yourself. part of that means not pouring all your resources down a into a black hole. helping pay rent or utilities if you live with your mom is one thing, but taking care of someone perfectly able to take care of herself is another.

the help and assistance she provided you when you were growing up was her obligation. if she did those unconditional things feeling they were conditional (ie: that you'll take care of her in the same way so she can be lazy a few years later), that is her failed (and irratoinal) expectation.

stay strong and true to yourself. if you waver now, she will likely expect you to do so forever. you owe it to yourself to put yourself first and to look for love and acceptance who is willing to give it to you without strings attached.
