> Question for my T next week:
>
> When I was a child, I tried to VERY GOOD, VERY PERFECT, so I wouldn't get beat and so my parents would love me.My mother abused me, so I understand.
>
> I try to be a great friend, but yet I get taken advantage of everytime of my good nature.Same here.
>
> As an adult, I try to be a good mother, and a good wife, but yet my DH doesn't want me.
>
> I try to be a good person but everyone always sh*ts on me. Why even try anymore, I either get used, abused or left out cold? What am I doing wrong?Answer: NOTHING. It is the other people who are doing something wrong. I am determined to be myself, no matter what anyone else does. I will not allow anyone to drag me down to their level.
All we can do is be authentic. We cannot control what anyone else does. Knowing the difference between our stuff and "their" stuff is the key.
