I Wish I Was the One That Was Taken Care of

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love taking care of people and I love being there for those around me... But there comes a time when I wish there was soemone to hold me when I cry, to talk through my problems, to make me a cup of tea...

A good friend of mine told me something today that really hit home.
I want everyone to think that I am OK - that I am over the divorce - that I am fine.
I am anywhere BUT fine.  I do need time...

But... nah.  Mom told me I should've just lived w/ him.  He's diabetic (type 1) & she said, "Do you want to wind up being a nurse maid all your life?"  But I didn't listen.  He's not sick... but I've...

I am so tired of taking care of others, I just wish I had some one to look after me. Is is so bad to ask for that?

Seems like I am always waiting on this one taking care of that one. I would love to be the one getting taken care of for a change. A litle bit of pampering goes a long way let me tell you. To have someone cook me dinner and give me a...

Growing up (with abuse) you rarely feel taken care of.  In fact it is more a feeling of being left to the wolves.  I have been taking care of myself ever since I can remember.  I fell into a life of taking care of those...

I am a very nurturing and loving person who is always willing to help. I am a good listener and intuitive.
I work with children and so these traits come in very useful. All day I care for them and put my absolute heart and soul into the...

I am strong and sure and know who I am and who I want to be. This attracts broken souls and lonely people. I will listen to your problems, be a shoulder for you to cry on, help you carry the burden too heavy for your shoulders alone...

I'm a single mum, and I was devastated when my children's dad left a year and a half ago. They were only 3 and 5 then. Luckily we've remained good friends and share custody of our kids. However, things keep going wrong for me love-wise...

Not the best of days, but none the less it was a day in the life of a woman who travels through the world almost invisible.
  So invisible am I that while someone who I thought would know better allowed me to hear a conversation...

Hi guys,

I'm in a difficult situation right now and could do with some advice.

My Mum died when I was young and my Dad is disabled. He's also recently been diagnosed with diabetes and now he's suffering from bronchitis I feel so sorry...

I am used to taking care of others, I have been doing it the majority of my life. My mom has manic depression and wasn't diagnosed till I was about nine so I spent a lot of time before that trying to make, and keep, her happy. That wasn...

The majority of my life was spent taking care of others. It began with my drunken drug addict mother when i was 8 and did'nt stop until all my kids left...not even then really. Unfortunately my health is such that in many ways now I...

Some days I wish someone would take care of me.  I don't mean pamper me or anything.  I just want someone to watch a movie with me that I want to watch.  I am married but some days I feel like the single mom.  when...

I have always been the momma hen. I was the one who took care of my friends when they were sad. I was the one who went out of her way to help people in need. Not because I wanted something out of it but just because I believe everyone...

if my mother had taken care of me, my life would be very different. she was able to care for me to some extent, but that was limited to food and board. none of my emotional needs got met and so i have learned to meet them on my own.

Since my Mum died when I was 14 I have been a carer for my Dad. I feel like I don't have a Dad and long for someone to look after me. I hate the role reversal, I just want some love and someone to make things alright when they go wrong...
