KEEPING YOUR OWN HOUSE


Today was one of those days. My two major depressed family members were, guess what - majorly depressed.


I grew up dealing with a suicidal parent - keeping the peace, not rocking the boat, providing solutions, doing whatever it took - I was doing that from infancy, I feel. It's extremely difficult even now to let someone experience their own consequences, to not step in and take over the problem(s).


So I keep repeating to myself - "I am not responsible for any one else's mood or happiness except myself."
