during my life, i have made many. i dropped out of school to help support my older brother and sister. i became a single parent for the better of my children, i went back to school for the future of my kids(no sacrifice there), i gave up many dreams for my kids and my family. tonight i came to the relization that i am in a cross roads of life. sinse i was 14 i've done for others and sacrificed my own future. i am now in a spot where i want to do for myself, but i feel quilty; why? all my life i've done "what is best" for my family, my siblings and my kids, but now i feel it is my time, true ot false? :confused:
 
nymph,

just remember whatever you do good for youself IS going to be great for your family as well. no matter how selfish you think your actions are. if it improves you, it ultimately will benefit everyone. i am a strong believer success and happiness "starts w/ you". so get out there and make your dreams come true; do the things you always wanted. i'm sure such a conscientious person like yourself will be able to handle being the same loving mom and sister and won't let anything diminish those responsibilities. put the same effort and thought into yourself- 'cause you deserve it!
 
I know how you feel. I feel guilty going to work, even though I know that I obviously need money to give my family a future, but sometimes it just is frustrating. You dont need to worry about anyone except yourself and your kids.
 
You need to follow your dreams. If you don't you will regret it for the rest of your life. You mentioned crossroads there will be many of them just follow your heart and don't give up your dreams for anyone.
 
well thanx all, but i feel like a lost soul right now. i hate where i am i hate where i'm living, i hate my life. i feel like theres more out there. my mom and me had a heart to heart, she made me cry. the only thing she kept telling me was she wished i didn't move back here. damn i moved out on my own in vancouver when i was 16! she moved back here, i stayed. what does that tell me? if my mom who loves me more then life itself tells me i made a mistake be moving back, then damn did i make a mistake, but why didn't she tell me back then? why leave it till now? i've secluded myself, and i'm a terribly social person, i don't do anything, probably cause i hate where i am. i have anger towards my family and if i leave i will never come back. i don't know where i belong, but i will find it. bitch bitch blah blah, sorry thanx for somewhat listening :rolleyes:
