And a very wise thought Humlan...and so true. To give you an example, I was going to fix meatloaf for myself one day and I thought, "Oh I can't fix that, nobody but me likes it." Then I thought, WHATTTTT? I have been divorced 15 years....and my boys have been gone from home over 5 years...who wouldn't like it? There's nobody here but me! So my point is that we do put everyone else's needs before our own for so many years that it is second nature to us and when we realize we have choices, actual REAL choices we can make, they feel strange...unnatural...so I totally relate.
