You're a wise woman Cat...I need to do this more. It IS HARD to turn off all the instinctive games we play in an effort to protect ourselves or manipulate our loved ones to do what we want. Especially when we often don't realize what we're doing.
It takes a strong person to open up and give love without requiring any reciprocation.
