[QUOTE="Star*, post: 96653, member: 4964"] What I learned in counseling and life: No one can make you feel guilty without your permission. If you give them permission over and over to walk over and over you, perhaps it's time to do something for yourself so your children don't think this is normal or acceptable behavior. What do YOU want to do for Christmas and Thanksgiving? THEN DO THAT - if you think there will be heck to pay? THen shut off the phone and don't open any letters, and don't set yourself up for the guilt. Believe me we could talk for HOURS on what guilt will get you - basically ulcers. And frown lines. And bald spots. And acne at 39. Guilt sure doesn't make a pretty woman out of any of us. [/QUOTE]
