My family keeps tabs apps on a lot of things. When they feel they owe you they’ll tolerate a request or 2. Once they no longer feel they owe you they’ll bite back. But what about when they’ve crossed over my limit? What about when they cross over to the line where I’ve given much more than I’ve received? Lines they’ve crossed over in their old age and grown dependent upon me. They don’t seem to complain much about. Could take them to the doctors to the pharmacist to the grocery store to the lottery store or to the car repair store to Albuquerque to look at marble tables… And I might be able to get away with asking for one thing at the end. By the time it’s the 2nd thing they’re feeling taken advantage of. If family and support are the important things in life, I know little of it. Scratch that on our way home from an all day trip to Albuquerque and back looking at marble tables able I was brushed aside when asking for an extra tortilla on my enchilada when we got home. Grudgingly my aunt made a central auto, but refused to add the extra tortilla.

In my early years I treated the world like it treated me – Nothing to brag about you see. Now I’d like to think “I treat it at least a little better than it treats me”. The world hasn’t changed much, on the other hand, I could not make such a claim without myself having changed atleast some.

My personal experience in relationships s two fold:

1) There are always gonna be plenty of reasons or opportunities to speak out againstt unfairness in relationships because people are generally selfish, and in the back of my mind I’m thinking 🤔 A lot of women who believe they have bargaining power in their relationships their relationships simply because of what they have going for them feel that they are entitled. If you want me you’re going to have to pay for it.

2) People don’t want to hear your complaints, they are the way they are and it is the way it is and I’ve seldom met anyone willing to change if it went against their own advantage.

You seldom meet people in positions of power giving it all away for the sake of the poor and the median lesser advantaged. Why rise to power just to give it all away? Although there are some of those in the world.
