I used to think taking responsibility meant carrying everything.
Especially as a mom, this pattern can feel so normal.
You carry the family, the house, the children, the relationship, the emotions, the planning, the needs… and sometimes even the happiness of the people you love.
And then you may feel frustrated when others don’t take their part.
But the truth is: sometimes they don’t have to, because you are already taking it.
What I learn again and again in my own life, and what I also work with in Ta**ra Therapy, is that taking responsibility does not mean carrying everything.
It also means knowing what is not yours to carry.
Your part is yours.
Their part is theirs.
Even when you love them.
Even when it is hard for them to take their part.
Even when it is hard for you to trust that they can.
When you leave responsibility where it belongs, there is more space to breathe, to trust, and to connect.
