[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 112730, member: 3444"] I joined a 12-step group last spring and have learned a lot from it about letting go of things like unrealistic expectations. That took a lot of pressure off and gave me the strength and courage to say no to many situations and people in my life who were used to me responding with yes, regardless of the pain it was causing me. The resentment over trying to meet everyone else's expectations, and ignoring my own needs was killing me, or at least driving me to dark places that I thought I'd managed to pull myself out of several years ago. Heather, it sounds like you need to cut yourself some slack and let some people in your life suffer a little disappointment. They'll get over it. [/QUOTE]
