I let my h be my caretaker. I allowed him to do everything.
This is another kind of "caretaker". A people pleaser. One way of of dealing is to let another make all the decisions, in that way there is no conflict, well except inside where you are totally denying your needs and then depressed about it. Its a very common issue, the flip side of the same coin. A caretaker is some who denies there own needs to please another.
In the end we all, no matter where we came from, must get to a place where we know who we are, are able to honestly express to another who we are and what we feel, are able to take responsibility for who we are, what we feel and do, and in doing all this are able to see others for who they are.
Once we know, accept, and "take care" of ourselves it is a whole lot easier to see others as others and accept them.
