...I know I don't know you very well, but I'm a very intuitive person, and I have a few things to say.
First of all, what Lys wrote in reponse to this post is *VERY* wise. I know the ring of truth when I hear it.
Second, I can empathise with your situation to some degree at least. I know what you mean about having a Service mentality -- service is a *VERY* important part of my spiritual path, and that's something I constantly struggle to do justice to in my life. And because of my own past there are parts of me that have long been heavily and deeply cloaked as well. I know what it's like to live a lie, my dear.
I guess that's all I have to say. I really do hope you find a way out of the situation you're in right now -- it doesn't like like Megan's ever going to grow up and become independent unless she'e forced to (very similar to what happened and is happening with a friend of mine here).
Ellie, love...
