I think we all pass through moments when we feel like a burden - but that's because we forget how many interesting or at least just something good to do are around. As long as we can still do them and we can give more than we take we are not a burden.

We have a life - we didn't create us to have the right to damage what we haven't created. My child tried one day to tell me that she could do worse and ruin her achievements. I said I can do the same with mine and she will have less resources for the future, if that was the answer, and do no efforts to support her needs other than food, clothes, on short the minimal ones. I was thinking what a great effort I made all these years to be told that if I do not submit at her manipulation ( she wanted something that I didn't consider that it was her best and I wasn't supportive...) she would cause her harm. I asked her if she first was able to create life and take care of a "life" to be properly developed in order to think about damaging, harming...

Do you think I have done the right thing?
