Whether it's good or bad, I don't believe it's either.

I have a strong tendency to want to rescue. Doesn't make me a control freak, which I certainly know that I am not. It might raise my stress levels. It's a quality that can have great benefit in many ways and as long as I am aware of it and can ask myself what's my motive or if that need causes harm, then it is what it is. I find it a quality that is tempered with knowing where my lines are and how to assert myself when those lines are bending or being crossed. It benefits me in the workplace. And brings caution in relationships, motherhood included. Took me a long time to have this minor aha moment. It's involving child support at this moment in my life. But neither here nor there to your post.
