Unhappy unsure

its fathers day on sunday and Its really messing with my head, I keep remembering my old man, the last time I saw him and how he screwed my life up and "primed" me for ab*se. I'm meant to be going out with a friend whose very much into drugs and drink, part of me wants to go so I don't think about it on sunday whilst many ppl are enjoying they time with they old man, or remembering good times (and I do get jealous, bad isn't it) I just want to forget, but another part knows that I won't forget and it will be more intense as the drink takes over.. I don't want to let her down I just not sure its good for me, but i've never put me first and its doesn't feel right.

LC, you know what is the right thing to do.

Don't worry about other people, take care of yourself.

The right thing is not to go...to stay at home. I've never been any good at putting me first, always others then me. I guess because I don't like me and also because by helping others, by being the people pleaser means I feel like I have a reason to be here..that probably makes little or no sense. but I do need to put me first, just scared and feels wierd cause I've never done it.

I understand what you are saying here only too well - never give up on trying to put you first - I know it is hard and I am a fine one to talk but I do keep trying and I struggle with it and I fight myself over it but one day it will get easier - don't give up!
