This is something I have and on occassion am still guilty of. But what really gets to me is that the people you suffer for are rarely if ever willing to do the same for you.
what really makes my blood boil is that my daughter is just as guilty of. The good thing with her is that I can sit her down when I can see what is going on. She then steps back and can see it for herself.
Is there anyone you have eve one out of your way to help that has returned the favour. I can name two out of everyone have stopped my life to help.
As BP are we prone to this...do you learn to say no??? I have and I feel guilty but I am not willing to suffer or have my family suffer for someone that will never repay the compassion, time and effort. Harsh I know but it has been a hard lesson to learn...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
We hope that change and growth will accour in their lives. I think it selfish of myself togive and expect something in return.
I do hang out with a group of people that will give more of themselves than I do even to me! thatis a powerfull freindship.

I hope this helps
To me it's pure love.
When you expect something back you are not really giving to anyone other than yourself.
I learned to say no very early because I only had me to rely on. I had to "conserve energy" and resources. But when I can, I love to help.
Its more the ones that you continue to help and they arent even really interested in helping themselves.
If it was that I ws expecting something in return then I wouldnt bother at all...I dont do anything if its expected...
anyway glad to know its not just me.
