I need to find time/motivation/etc to write. I am exactly like you. I struggle SO MUCH with taking on others burdens. With our foster kiddos, I’ve taken on their pain and want success for them so badly that I’m running myself into the ground. Every step back that they take derails me. I’m really working on realizing that I can’t do everything for them and that what I’m doing is good enough. Sorry about your situation you talked about at the end :-/ That’d be so hard for me too! God has been revealing himself through Scripture a lot lately – I know that’s like “duh” but He’s really giving me just the right Scripture at the right time lately. And he’s giving my foster daughter the perfect Scripture as well too through me and studies we’re doing which in turn, helps me so much too! Sorry…my comment was wordy :-p

I can only imagine how difficult it is, but it sounds like you are on your way to healing.

I am very much the same — people-pleaser who tries to be everything to everyone. I’m having to learn that I am not responsible for the problems or happiness of others. I can only take care of my own. And not taking on the responsibility for others’ emotions does not make me a bad friend/sister/daughter/fiancee/etc.

I’ve drown myself in that burden before. Sorry your having a tough time, but sounds like your keeping your focus in the right direction. God keeps showing me His faithfulness in countless ways I struggle lately and He is so good! Came across your post today and just wanted to share!
