As a 6 year old, I got the message loud and clear: other people's needs come before mine and if something goes wrong, it's my fault.

I need to be clear: I don't blame my mom for showing me this example. She was doing the absolute best she could.

Doctors were telling her my Dad wouldn't make it and she was having to face the possibility of raising two kids on her own on a teacher's salary (about $23,000 a year).
