You asked me "Why?"

You asked me why I wasn't honest about needing help or needing to take a break. I told you I didn't know. I couldn't articulate what my motivation was 27 years ago. I just felt it wasn't possible to show that weakness.

After some thinking, I know I showed weakness. It wasn't that.

I couldn't say "no."

I didn't know I needed to or should but healthy boundaries around myself.

I think I lived with a false hope that if I said "yes," a "yes" would be returned.

That if I anticipated needs, then the same would be returned.

That didn't happen.
