Granite, where are your needs in all of this?

I know you were raised with your needs being nonexistent by the mother.

You need to respond according to what you need now.

When you were growing up you had to focus on what the mother needed to try to stay safe.

You, therefore, developed being outwardly focused on others. To be healthy you need to be inwardly focused.
