[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764930, member: 18958"] I believe your mother WAS really into her family. That concept of love was based upon self-denial. That doesn't mean it wasn't love. I second this. Step outside of the box! We can factor in self-love even if it wasn't modeled. Real self-love is not selfish. It is putting oneself in the equation. Don't our families deserve this? Don't we? When I began to make changes for real, it was when I began to dissociate when I was around my son. I just checked out. I did not remember. There was just blankness. I realized right then that that was a bridge too far. I had already given up so much. To give up an identity? That's like dying inside. The awareness that I would kill off my consciousness was too much. Too scary. [/QUOTE]
