love myself

I finally figured it out for myself.  I can no longer expect anything from my family in the way of positive attention.  Therefore I will have to depend on myself for the nice little extras in life.  You know what I mean, the you did wonderful today or what you think of this I may be resorting to conversations with my cat.  My main objective is. to love myself as I would another person.

You are right. If you don\'t expect you won\'t be disappointed and you won\'t feel let down. Families aren\'t tailor made and we cannot always rely on them, as much as we would hope.

It\'s always good to be your own self-motivator. I\'m sorry your family lets you down so much, but you are doing so well lately that I can see real progress. Keep working on yourself and you will be happy.

I am glad you are able to count on yourself and sorry your family isn\'t there for you. Your DS family is here for you though! Keep at it. And its not bad to have conversations with the cat. I do it all the time. :-)

I feel the same about my family. I\'ve always been there for them but I do not receive the same in return. All I get from them is negativity.

Knowing I can always count on myself and knowing I\'m a strong, wonderful person is all I need to get me through the day. Well that and the wonderful support I receive from DS.

Loving ones self should be something we all do.
