Dear Anita,

Yes some editing indeed! As this is always a stream of consciousness!

Interesting how as you put “interactions with my sister and others” are really what are often the root of distress in me.

It could be exactly as above, a normal day, yet my engulfing myself in someone else – voluntarily – given that they didn’t ask me to – that I lose my energy – it seeps out of those holes.  Left with nothing for myself and my husband.

Clearly trained very well by my mother: give me ALL you have, right now and always.
