Oh, great post DPS.
So many things you said resonate and make sense--

As a child I knew I was never to need anything or want anything, that what I wanted did not matter or even exist because I knew better and also because I never even knew that it was possible that I could want anything. I can always seem to get what others might want because that is something I always had to know.

Yes, me too- exactly. I hadn't any wants-- but-- I was quite good(from a wee little one) at figuring out all the wants of those around me.

When people hold so much power over us both past and present it makes it hard to even think in what we might or need to want, or anything. Taking back that power is important as it was never really theirs to take in the first place. Small steps and giving yourself permission to now think about the things that are important to you is so important. Listen to your gut and know that what you feel is important.

Yes, realizing one even has power is such a step forward.... something I'm working on presently.
and what you feel IS important!! Yes yes.... I need to repeat that for myself.
best to you Gr3tta
know that you are not alone.
