Thanks HappyFlower. I see what you are saying.
But thankfully I haven't depended too much on anyone so far. I have mostly kept it to myself - maybe except my ex T - I allowed myself to depend on him and expect him to write to me all the time. And maybe I have complained to my parents and husband. But I haven't been very bad to others - I have allowed myself to crumble down and feel extremely sad, but so far I haven't taken it out on others. That much I am happy with myself about. Maybe only my exT I came to depend heavily upon.I do do a lot of things for myself. It is not about doing things. Just the basic attitude of emotionally nurturing myself was missing. I take music classes, read novels and other things, watch almost all the movies in atleast 3 languages, work 8 hours, cook everyday, chat here etc. So that way I am doing lot of things. But just that I didn't tell myself it is ok to be happy and be free of guilt and shame.
