sometimes you just have to let go..
For as long as I can remember I have been my mothers replacement. Even though I am the youngest of her children, she has always counted on me to play mommy while mommy was away. I gladly took to this because I loved feeling important and needed. Up until recently I've discovered how this role has added negatively to my life.
I have always latched onto people, trying to fix their problems. I was always drawn to people who needed help. And since I was such a good little helper at home I searched into how I might be able to help others.
For much to long I was unaware of how detrimental this was and still is to my social life and over all wellness of my own, and now my sons as well. (he is not in any danger, I just fear he will try to be this same person)
It's been a few months since my step brother was in the hospital and he's been home for about two months.. And though I was having trouble with the job I had at the time I still quit to stay home and take care of my step brother. which wasn't an issue at the time, because I pull myself into other peoples problems.
I Jenna Marie Denton am a sever codependent.
I am putting all the pieces together and seeing that I have been my entire life. I craved feeling important and appreciated. It's mostly always put me in a bad position. It lead me to losing alot of friends, keeping myself from focusing on what my life should be now.
