I'm a doormat. I think that's why I have just quit having friends. I seem to allow people (hell even seem to want people-subconsciously) to use me up and throw me away. I got tired of it and cut everyone out of my life except my husband, son and sister. (And I tell my sister nothing, I'm mostly there to support her.) I was just never, ever allowed to express my feelings as I was growing up. I realize its quite pathetic to let my childhood effect me so, but I cannot figure a way to break this cycle. I try and try, but it never lets go of me.
