Thank you for your honesty, Betsey. You are totally right. I'm not sure if I do care enough to do this. Perhaps, I just think about backing out b/c it is the easier thing to do.

My question to you: Why don't you feel you deserve to be happy?



I guess because I don't think I am a very worthwhile person and that I have been taught to think the worst in ppl. Additionally, I feel like I am going against my family if I am happy. Does that make sense??? It's crazy, I know! I have to cut the apron strings and have my own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

I'm afraid to have the rug pulled out from under me. Yet, I take so many other risks in my life and have total confidence!

Thank you again.
More thoughts later.
