can i do a your decision to separate should be a decision which is free and clear of the restraints of tak ing the responsibility for the other persons life if anything it should reaffirm the mismatch that you were attempting to escape from threat of suicide exerts a tremendous pressure for another to take responsibility of the per sons life quite often in such situations the friend gives in to his or her suicidal partner only to have the person later act out a need for freedom message be coming involved in multiple rela tionships or drug addiction your friend needs guidance it seems to me love is essentially a giving and taking which is enacted in a context of freedom and autonomy what is love for you it seems to me you want freedom in your choices and youre working hard to free your self from the tyranny of an oppression q my father is confined to his bed in a convalescent home after quite a serious accident my youn ger single brother lives very close to me although i have a family of my own i try to get in to see him everyday because i know he looks forward to the visits so much i believe that he will get better quicker if he feels support from his family the problem is that my brother doesnt visit often it not only puts more pressure on me but it depresses my dad too he keeps asking about him how can i deal with this we both work fulltime yet he can never find time a my sympathy to you regarding the recent serious accident that your father was involved in it seems to me that a crisis in a family brings forth noteworthy characteristics of family mem bers the question i have for you is are you attempting to com pensate for that which your brother is failing to do to dis tinguish your love for your father as something separate from the concerns you have for your brother may be helpful you may have a tendency to carry the world on your shoul ders a straight talk with your brother should be sufficient if he does not respond this should not affect the concerns that you pre sently have for your father both you and your father are aware of a lack in your brother and the point i am making is that this should not interfere with your relationship with your father for example overcompensating by seeing him too frequently another possible effect is that you may commiserate with your father about your brother thus creating a circular effect dr meade
