After reading Eric's post, I can see what a wonderful place he's in right now. I'm sure it was a long, hard road. And it makes me see how into myself I am right now. This is a place that I don't want to be. I want to be a giver and to be able to give easily. I wish this for myself and everyone in this forum. Thank you, Eric, for such inspiring words.<BR>

hi begrjo,<BR>I feel that you have to go thru a time when you are selfish-it is one of the steps that we must take. We need to truly look at our hearts, our own needs, before we can be successful givers.<BR>There are many of us here that were the givers in the relationship, sometimes a very lopsided situation! this may have been giving, but was it successful giving when the relationship had problems? As I looked into myself, I could see where the communication could be improved and expectations more clearly spelled out. That way both of us could be givers in the relationship and it is much more balanced, without resentments.
