Did you grow up not getting your needs met but had to meet the needs of another family member all the time?

It is healthier for each person to meet their needs but they can get help and support from others.

Some dysfunctional relationships are set up, "I'll meet your needs and you meet mine" where no one meets their own needs.

Do you think that you can meet your own needs or does something stop you?
