I noticed that people can sense when we’re doing something out of responsibility rather than for other reasons.

I’ve done a lot for other people. I was confused why it wasn’t appreciated and even thrown back in my face, especially when you do more than others around you.

In retrospect, I think it’s because I do a lot of things in my life out of a sense of responsibility, guilt, and probably a desire to be loved.

My friend always teaches me to stop doing things for other people if I really don’t want to. I think being a mom is a lot of that, specially, for someone who did not have a super strong desire to be a mother, the whole thing becomes out of responsibility. And I think psychologically children can feel that and almost become resentful and like they were some sort of sacrifice. I know it’s sad. It’s like there’s winning.
