Thank you, thank you, thank you. You shared so much of yourself that I am honored, we all are honored.
I sat here with my hand over my mouth feeling all the feelings that poured out of you while describing your love for your step-mother and what she did for you. I could identify with what you experienced when she became sick and died. My mother died that quickly, too. Christmas was special to her, too. She died 1 1/2 years ago. Last Christmas was not the same without her even though we were not always friends.
I understand your sense of duty to your father, in spite of his horrible behavior when he drinks. I don't understand women who are attracted to men like that. And no, it doesn't seem fair. I understand why it doesn't seem fair. You have such big shoulders to be carrying all this responsibility.
I want you to understand one thing. You do not have to be anyone other than who you are here. We are your friends. We care about you. We do not want anything from you. We DO need you to take care of yourself. Because if you don't, you won't be around and THAT we could not handle.
Always trust us. Whenever you need to rest, you rest. Don't apologize. Just promise you will take care of YOU.
