    @bevans Ahh yes, oldest daughter. Lol. Thank you for this. I'll do research on being cared for and feelings that come up about it. I'm in the US and I'm involved now with some people who can also help. I'm proud you. You are a wonderful person. Thank you so much for this.

    @david_thesalmst Thank you for all of this. We have an exchange system. She loves my cooking. We have a deal where I help with money, she helps with groceries and in exchange for her help, I feed us both. That way I don't feel it's so one sided. And I'll keep communicating.

    @myjesus1797 Thank you for this. And for your perspective. This helps me see it in a different light. Part of my personality is not feeling deserving of good things.

    @katrina2017 Thank you for your empathy. You make some incredibly valid points. There are things I do for her.

    @lilliumstar Thank you. Sorry I missed this sooner. I'm glad you get where I'm coming from. And you are right, she would hate if I felt bad when she is nice to me. ( stems from abuse). I'm going to just enjoy our time. Thank you. Keep loving your family, and them loving you. :)

    @dinofinney Thank you . and I'm very very lucky. I appreciate her so much. Edit: hit save too soon. Yes it is earlier than expected and i think that is what bothers me the most. I SHOULDN'T need help, but I do.
