Dear Faye:

You tried very hard and worked hard but you didn’t stand up for yourself as you tried and worked hard, you kept operating as the child that you were, putting other people first and you last, correct?

If so, all that hard work was likely to fail you.

You wrote: “Sometimes I want to run away from family … because they keep reminding me of the past, cold relationships at home, no communication, disengagement and belittling treatment:-

You mean, your present experience at home is similar to your past experience at home, that is, the past is … still happening?
