My Last Addiction

I wonder why it is that we take on the hurt, guilt, and pain of someone else? Someone that has had or having their won life struggle?

 I can remember feeling so deeply for my father who was an addict and an alcoholic. I fed into his illness and took the blame for it. I watched him slowly kill himself right before my eyes.

I think I realized at one point that it was not my fault and I was able to separate myself somewhat from the blame. I swore I would not bel like him but I already was even before I took the first pill or drink.

It is an innate thing.

I have so much self-hatred. I wonder if I can cope with it? How can one have so much love for others and compassion and not have it for themselves? Am I as hard on others as I am on me? I don't think so.

Just some thoughts...sincerely, searchin
