You were just more honest <em>about your comings and goings</em> so you were judged as less than. Typical in this world isn't it? Reminds me of the SuperMom I saw on the TV show E.R. Turns out she was on crystal meth. I think of Big Pharma in the U.S.A. trying to get everyone on pills. So then people not on pills get judged as less than because we're just more honest in our lives. This has always - funny enough - been my biggest fear. I better deal with that fear or I will manifest it. LoL <em>I have realized and embraced my gift of *knowing*.</em> Yes, there is a reason. And I am glad to hear you taking care of yourself like a daughter. This makes me very happy because it's the preliminary work before we can do anything with "knowing." We have to be our biggest advocates FIRST. We have to because - for lack of a better term -"blanks" will use us up and blame us in the process. They are the equivalent of a drowning person and we're the lifeguard coming to help them. But instead of doing what we're suggesting or letting us help them in OUR way...they panic and inadvertently attempt to drown us. <strong>We're</strong> left wondering, then, WTF? Our HSP shows us who is drowning and who needs help. Maybe we need to hone it to be more selective - like who would LIKE our help and who would well receive our help? The fight with your Mom. Wow. Yeah. The good thing about family though - and Mom's particularly - is they love us no matter our fits. And sometimes we gotta get angry to get our feelings out. [That's a codependent recovering truth in my life.] Aren't you excited to be coming into your own? Gosh! Oh and listen. Do not forget to continue treating yourself like your daughter. Or a therapist/friend suggested that I treat myself like I was baby Samsara who finally now has an advocate. [Adult Samsara who knows better.] Baby Tammy now has you. You will no longer allow Baby Tammy to be at the whim of people who will eat her alive and not take into account HER needs and wants. You will continue putting HER first so that she CAN give to the world as an adult. :) Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your story. Stick around and stay in touch. PS. Tammy - you might like this one-->  <a href="http://samsara.ihostyou.com/the-most-important-person/" rel="nofollow">It's All About Me: I am the most important person</a>. Well...I write a lot on this sort of <a href="http://samsara.ihostyou.com/category/codependency/" rel="nofollow">Codependent</a> stuff because HSP's - being the mind readers, empaths and intuitives kinda grew up being naturally "the caretakers" of some fashion.

It has always been put on me, even as a very small child to "save my family" from themselves(including my extended family). I always felt bad about myself because I was the caretaker--but who took care of me? It was strange that that was my role because I was the younger child. I got no respect because I was *less responsible* than my older sister (in all actuality, I was just more honest about my comings and goings). It was up to me to forgo comfort, pleasure, or material things for someone else, it was also my *job* to entertain and keep the mood light in times of despair. I always thought, "why don't they give me what I need? They must not love me", because I could anticipate and deliver what others needed to fulfill them emotionally, physically, and mentally and I thought everyone could see that too. I have realized and embraced my gift of *knowing*. I misplaced it for sometime though, thinking it was my duty to the world to be its servant, which left me feeling worthless but full of worth at the same time. I accepted my *curse* of a gift. Then my children started growing, and acting like me and they were miserable like me. I looked in the mirror one day and decided that I wanted better for my kids than I had, wanting them to be happy and realizing that they wouldn't be from the example I was giving. I then decided that since I had a distant, cold mother, I would be my own mother and treat myself like I was my own daughter. It has been a few years since then and I have come leaps and bounds. Growth is hard and I still have a long way to go to feel completely good about myself, what I have to offer, and my place in the Universe. I am so glad I found this site. I am a codependent high-sensation seeking HSP. It's rough but there has to be a reason, and I'm going to find it ;-) I just had an argument with my mother that had me opening with, “I am not just a means to an end for you or anyone else anymore!” It has always been put on me, even as a very small child to “save my family” from themselves(including my extended family).
