Default Re: Feelings of guilt re: family

There is nothing any of us can say that will help you get over the guilt and I only see three options ahead of you:

#1 Continue as is and keep feeling guilty. It will grow the longer you let it fester, even once the girls are gone and your sister is living on her own.

#2 Get over the guilt on your own. Just let it go into the wind.

#3 Hold a family meeting and ask everyone how they feel about the times that you are playing poker. I think you'll be surprised at how supportive they are about you doing something that makes you happy.

Guilt is self created. Fight back! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

btw - Handling the downswings are an entirely different beastie and I think they will be easier for you to handle once you're rid of this guilt crap.
