In Part 1 of this session, Jane* (not her real name) asked:

(1) I feel very drained because I’m usually the giving person to my family members. My family is not good to me, and I have to give a lot to them. But I’ve got very good friendships, in that my friends are very supportive and giving to me. Why is it like that? It is a recurring pattern. Is there anything to do with my past life, which is why this is the way things are today?

(2) My relationship with my husband has been very strained. It is the same recurring pattern, like how my dad will use me and have certain expectations of me. I think my husband also sees me as somebody good to have. I don’t feel the love I’m supposed to feel. And it has come to the point where I wish to untangle this. But I also have children with him, whom I love and try to be a good example for. And so, I’m caught between living a truth for myself, and the norm of keeping the family together. Any advice?
