    Good for you. I agree that the key word here is balance. There is nothing wrong with the generous spirit you described, until it starts to be so out of balance that you end up being drained of your energies. Then it is time to reassess.

    However....as I am finding out..this is not an easy thing to undo...I tend to feel very guilty and it is a real struggle, and because some of this now has to do with an ex -spouse...certainly...he is not putting me first..and so i had better learn how to be different, pretty darn quick...I belive the core problem has to do with power and control....

    I would agree.. and at least you are giving of yourself in a more rational way, ... the giving endlessly and not receiving part, is over....

    That's Good, keep on giving because what you give out is what comes comes back to you ..you may not see it right away but it WILL come back to you some time in your life.
