Yes, I think no matter what you decide, you might want to think about ways to build your confidence in yourself so that you do not always feel so dependent on others. It is not that I am knocking dependence. In relationships, people are interdependent, but it sounds like you never got the chance to go through that stage of life most of us do, at 16-25 when we go out on our own, one way or another, and discover who we are. You went right from childhood to parenthood, and it sounds like you do not feel very confident in yourself as an adult.
Are you in therapy? Sometimes group therapy is great for this kind of issue. Bottom line? How can you feel stronger, more self confident?
