'Looking After Everyone Else's Needs' was my function in life, from childhood, because I responded with empathy to parents and siblings... however, soon enough what was my initiative and gift, came to be viewed as a right and the moment I don't respond as they wish, it is all about, I am not respecting them'. It is always a devious move.
