Like do all the things that a parent would.

But who's tucking her in?

Who's feeding her?

Who's nurturing her?

Who's taking care of her?

Over time, she learns that she must be only of service to others.

and deny her own needs.

And that's what typically happens in adult life, that she'll enter into intimate relationships that way and never really know how to express her own needs because her needs were never really acknowledged as a child and she never learned the language of her own needs.

And so she goes about life in that way.

She may even transition into the workplace, not expressing what she needs properly.

from a boss, from a colleague.

And so it really starts to generalize in friendships everywhere.

She may even become a parent.

And as a parent, she'll have needs and won't be able to express them.

So eldest daughters really take on the role of being of service to others for life and sometimes even take on that role with a sense of pride, not realizing how harmful it can be for them.

It is.

And she's able to experience reciprocity in relationships.

Yeah.

She's able to receive.

Without guilt.
