But then I think I just got to this point where I have to take care of me. For me, I think it boils down to this: I have to take care of others, and that requires a lot of energy. I don't have energy to feel badly about taking care of me, and if I don't, then I am a wreck. And a wreck doesn't make a good mom.

Earlier this year I saw myself get very defensive when I felt invaded. And then it's an easy step into judging myself.<br />Thanks for the reminder to honor myself and the feeling of connectedness.purplumehttp://www.purplume.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478024514640293628.post-86916110383344614552010-11-24T20:46:52.453-05:002010-11-24T20:46:52.453-05:00Mom et al, beautifully said!

You said a number of things here that resonate with me, like assuming responsibility for things beyond your control, relationships that cannot withstand the word "no", and feeling like a needy wife. Although the subject my blog is wedding gowns, I am IRL a mom & wife, and I struggle with all this.
