It is quite tiring if your arms are always open for your family.....

A pleasant day Fellow Mylotters,
As time goes by, I slowly realized that I must change my approach to most of the things that I am doing. Whereas before, I used to be the person who always give my all to my family members. That, whenever they need me, I always find time for them. Willing to extend my time just to be with them. Since I loved them because they are my family. That I gave every bits of understanding that I can even it can affects some of my decision. And now, I am somehow looking that the same family can give me a little bit of loved and understanding. But to my surprise, they cannot. Well, I am not really asking for any return of what I did, all I just looking forward is a bit, a little, a tiny thing. But, they can't. So, for now, I slowly realized that, it is really tiring if your arms are always open for your family. Thus, you need to reserve some for you.

for sure it happens most of the times and you must not consider it is a burden and quite complex thing happening.so you must always relish the opportunity to lead from front and help it out for sure so wait for good things to happen to all your family.

to you lowloy,
i do always ask for strength. honestly, i am not complaining, i am just airing the pain i feel inside. and i am really tired, as in extremely tired. no matter how i tried my best to understand and do some relaxation but at the end of the day, my heart, mind and body was really really exhausted.

hi,
they said that love your self first before the others is i can compare in your discussion,of course being a member of the family you should know what and when is your limit to help them,and since i am single and earned more than them i helped them,but still i saved money for my self too.

That is the way i see it also. i am the same way and i get put down or belittled if i do something different or did not think of doing something in a different way the way they had in mind. if also i did not agree to help my family out then i was put into a guilt trip, and if i did the opposite of what my wife said then i would be in trouble with her. i am usually stuck in the middle of things. i need to along with you reserve time for me! ;)
