Wow...
I have so been there. I am kinda still there now. It's all about everyone else because I am strong enough to handle it, and they aren't. Well, not even that they're not, I just would rather suffer than them. If there was a way I could stop everyone I know from hurting, I would. What I have realized is that even though I am always putting myself second, trying to make things better for everyone else, I of course have the resentment I try to hide, but after so many years of it, it can't help but come to the surface. It's like trying to hold a balloon under water. You can manage it for a while, but then it pops up in unexpected places at unexpected times. I wish I could help you, but the only thing I have figured out to do so far is to take a little selfish time, and not feel bad about it. I'll go downtown and leave all my worries and methods of contact behind, and I'll just walk around, maybe treat myself to something little, like lunch at my favorite restaurant, or a trinket that makes me giggle. I wish you luck!
