[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 641782, member: 1550"] Nomad, I don't know why my parents did what they did. I don't really care about the past either. I care about now. I am glad I learned to take good care of me. I hope everyone learns to do that. I used to think it was selfish to take care of yourself, but that was just more of my DNA collection talking. It is generous and kind to be good to yourself, both for yourself and so you can function well for those REAL loved ones in your life. As I said before, I used to think, "If your mother doesn't love you, who will?" That's wrong thinking. My new idea of right thinking: "If *I* don't love myself, why should anyone else?" Some of us are our worst abusers. You give marvelous feedback, both of you. [/QUOTE]
