Trust it is a very big word and means a lot things. A lot of people take it for granted. You have to earn trust to get trust and that is what I am tring to get across to the too people that I live with. I love them both dearly, but they both want to be spoiled. Well one of them I don't mind getting up and doing for, because he is my boyfriend. And ever since we have bought this trailer he has been doing some nice things for me and being sweet. And the other person I have known since I was a child and she wants me to wait on her hand and foot. Cook her meals, clean up after her and spoil her too. One is doing his best to change for me and I am happy for that, because he is trying and I love him for that. But I am only one person. And I am not going to lose it over this. I am depressed enoughed and I don't need to add more.

Hi there strawpurple. Are you afraid that the people you love will o longer trust you? Your post seems to be a little vague but I am going to tell you something that could help you. Thinking about what you have posted here, I know you are a loving and a giving person. You always want to please the persons who are dear to you. I am just trying to analyse things here. Maybe you are unhappy because you already forgot about yourself. Sometimes we have to forget about everything else and think about ourselves. We need to know what we also need in life. We should not be selfish to ourselves. Why? Because in order for us to make others happy we also have to make ourselves happy. In order for us to love others, we have to ourselves first. It is not a bad thing to please our love ones but we should know how to put limits to it. Are you talking about your mother here aside from your boyfriend? You know, life is full of responsibilities and I know it is not easy to follow those responsibilities. But we have to be strong in order to survive. I know it is sometimes depressing because you cannot do anything about your situation, but life is like that. Life is like a game, you have to play well or you will lose. Life may be unfair but there are a lot of great things in life that we should appreciate. I hope you will be ok. Be strong. Be happy. :0)

She's not my mother. She is someone that use to babysit me when I was little and took care of me when my parents wheren't around. I don't have very high esteem and I am depressed alot that is why I do the things I do for my boyfriend. My mother all ways told me that the woman place was to take care of her man and to see to all of his needs. That he always comes first, before you. And everyone else comes second.
