My daughter called me today. She said that she had been thinking about what I said, and agrees that it would be awkward for us to see the same therapist. She said that she cancelled her appointment. She has found another Christian organization that she is looking into.

While I should be jumping up and down, shouting for joy, for some reason I feel great sadness. When I hung up the phone I started crying. I feel like I made a big deal out of nothing and should have allowed her to keep the appointment in the morning.

On the other hand, at some point I have to stand up for my needs. I cannot keep pushing myself in the corner to take care of everyone else. Standing up for myself is not feeling very good right now. Guilt and shame are visiting me
