Don't feel poorly about yourself. You have taken a vital step in ensuring the stability oh everybody's life around you. You should be very proud of yourself for doing so. I admire you for your courage and determination. Sure it hurts but it will get better - and so will you because you are brave and strong and willing to make the hard choices and trade today's comfort for tomorrow's better life. Well done!
