Lesson Overview

31.17 – When You Feel Like a Burden to Your Family: Feeling like a burden often comes from believing you take up space that others resent. That thought grows silently during tough times—financial stress, illness, or emotional distance. But families are built on shared responsibility, not perfect balance. Your needs don’t make you heavy; they make you human. Sometimes parents or guardians simply run out of energy, not love. Communicating honestly about how you feel can uncover misunderstandings before they deepen. Everyone deserves compassion, including you. Learning to care for yourself—through journaling, walks, or creative outlets—lightens emotional weight for the whole household. When you treat yourself kindly, others mirror that energy back. The truth is, belonging isn’t earned; it’s shared. Your presence has value that can’t be measured by chores or grades.
