Dropping the rope, hope I'm doing the right thing.

all i can say to them is this: accept responsibility for what you know you could have been better at. however, it's not your responsibility to make someone happy. don't let them blame their unhappiness on you.

little by little, like a slow errosion, they chip away at our self esteem, blaming us for not being everything they want, changing that definition whenever it suits them.

know you are good. know you are worthy of love and respect. know you are not to blame for their unhappiness.

Thank you for these words, SS. I needed to hear them. I am so admiring your strength. ((((((((( ))))))))))))
