RE: The Psychology of Guilt

Hello @loveah,

It's so nice of you to stop by and read my blog.

Of course you make sense. You are referring to duty, I believe, to an obligation that comes because of a sense of duty. But if there has been a complete separation, a denial of association and duty on one side, then the other is free. When my father freed himself from obligation, he freed me.

instead of returning with good deeds, they did them wrong.

Yes, exactly. He disavowed his role as father. In doing that, he freed me from any responsibility I might have had as a daughter.

Thank you very much for that thoughtful comment. It is much appreciated.
