Steph,
In the eyes of my own mother, I will always be a little girl, no matter how old I am. Ditto for my dad. They know me well enough by now that I am immune to any potential guilt tripping. Yes, they have tried and well, I just tell them frankly and plainly without excuses or appologies NO. Well, unless I want to say yes and participate. I guess it's about choice and free will and severing the heart-strings. Those mummies and daddies have the power over our inner little girls to make us marionettes if we let them. Sooner or later we learn to save ourselves, not necessarily from our parent's guilt trips but from the creeps we run into in life. Also, from other parts of ourselves.
Therapy is a luxury, I agree. Sorry you're broke. Hope a legitimate means of funds finds you a.s.a.p.
Hugs, though. I used to feel like such a psychological whore succumbing to guilt trips until I just started "living out loud." And still, sometimes, it tears me appart to say no and mean no. But I feel better when I do...if that is indeed my inclination.
Hugs again. It's hard.
Kate, IBS-D.
