This was really moving, George. Though I would say be careful, this going about life like you're responsible for everything, especially everyone else's happiness and wellbeing can end up costing you your precious health. It's not all on you ;) (I'm like that too, though)
I also really liked this closing thought ~
You are part of that family for a reason and life knew you were the best person for the task that's why you are where you are so just do the best you can and let life handle the rest.
My own family's baggage has been on my mind a fair bit lately, so this was very resonant. Thank you for that :)
You are right mama, the effect of this habit on my physical and mental health wasn't a good one. Making the decision would change so many things for me and I am glad you could relate to the post.
Sending a 🤗 and cheers to a beautiful day.
